Another proud motherhood moment.
O won all his races at the swim meet today and tied with another talented young man for the highest total score.
But what left me brimming with pride was how he kindly agreed to share the trophy - one week each - while waiting for a longer term solution from the coaches and very gallantly allowed the boy to hold on to the shared cup first.
Hon the way home, he agreed with me that trophies and medals don't matter as much as his wonderful achievement and the beautiful memory of this day.
It is these moments that make the intense demands and difficulties of motherhood really worthwhile.
To know I'm raising a great person first and foremost, and a good swimmer is just an added bonus :)
