DD made the swim team ... she is the youngest child they have ever had!
She loves being w/ the 'big kids' and this is something that is going to
serve her well in her life. Medically (CP issues), socially and w/ her self
esteem. This morning she told me that when she is in the water "I feel just
like all the other kids." She also told me "I can't fall down in the
water!" lol ... I guess I never thought of it that way, but for a kid that
has several falls a day finding a place that she doesn't fall is pretty
important.

Thanks Mo ... she is a great kid.
I am amazed the progress that she has made the past 6 months. She has a
long way to go .. but she is getting there.
