I was a terrible swimmer, the water was always beyond cold and they seemed to always want us to go swimming in winter… never summer! Add to that my slightly… er… “portly” physique and I was always a real winner :p

Though as a kid, I always maintained that I’d rather come last than the middle. There’s something epic about coming last. You can own it with a certain degree of chutzpah 😉

It’s all about giving the best. My son is not good at ball sports and we’ve been practicing together so he’s better (like you said, you can only become better). He can swim and run fast, but he doesn’t have the ball sport skills in him… Reading your posts always reflect my own children, Charlie. Hope he’s better now. Hugs!

I hated swimming sports at school, so I understand where he’s coming from. Those other kids are just mean, and I would have poked my tongue out at them.

Poor, brave guy! Thank you for sharing with me…and making me smile. I can’t wait till my little one is as big as Alfie. He’s just adorable.

Nasty little buggers teasing him like that! You know that line on excursion notes after the whole medical information section that reads: Is there any other condition the school needs to be aware of regarding your childs health.. well I always wrote: ‘ Littlej’s enthusiasm often exceeds her abilities’. She sounds like Alfie, always ready to have a go and no matter what the result, it’s always their personal best because it’s always the best they can do at the time. Get well soon Alfie xox
