Let's Go Wyley, Let's Go(to Toy 'R Us)!!!

Wyley is showing off his event numbers (25 yds Freestyle and 25 yds Backstroke).

This post is dedicated to the motivation of Wyley.

Wyley is getting set up in his lane. He is worried. Very. And Veronica Harper is trying to focus him on getting to the other side....without stopping.

Wyley's first start-ever! That blue blur grabbing on to the lane line is my boy!

This would be break 1, i think. There were so many, that I didn't take a picture of each one.

The swimming resumes.

And another break.....and so it goes.

He has been working his tail end off in the pool since school let out. He is trying so hard to improve his skill level, his time, and overcome his nervousness. So, we want to hear from his friends and family. He has dropped his freestyle time from 1minute 58 seconds to 59 seconds! That is huge. His stroke looks so good, when he isn't hanging on the lane lines, and his attitude couldn't be better. (Ok, there was the day he begged me not to go.....he still goes.)

His back says it all, huh?

His future goals include:

• swim 25 yards freestyle and stop only 3 times=2 push pops from Mrs. Flanagan*



• swim 25 yards freestyle and stop only at the end=1 trip to Toys 'R Us with Mom



• dive in from side (not off of starting block) and keep going!!!!*



• dive in from starting block....i add this one, but he says this isn't his goal until he's 8.

*indicates the goals he is working on currently

Wyley getting a last minute pep talk from Coach Meagan. He tried his hardest at the Backstroke, but fear overwhelmed him and we let him stop half way. Wyley will swim it! Maybe when he's 8, he said.

Soooooo, lets hear from ya people! Motivate my little one! Help him feel the joy of a job well done and recognition of hard work. Reply to this post and I will have Wyley check it each day to see if folks have responded! Feel free to respond more than once by coming back and visiting our blog often! The pictures spread throughout this post are from Wyley's first meet. He's so cute!

Love to all, and we hope to report soon of any of Wyley's progress!
