Daughter B had her first district swim meet last week. She didn't do as well as she had in previous meets. Partly because she's still having trouble with consuming enough food and partly (in my opinion) because she put so much pressure on herself. Regardless of the reason, I thought she was great, and I saw a side of some of her team mates that made me think even more of them than I did before. The team is so incredibly supportive of one another. It's refreshing to see a bunch of teenagers (especially girls) who are competing against each other, but want everyone else to be successful and are willing to comfort each other when things don't go as planned. These kids are exceptional in every way. DB couldn't have chosen a better group to be a part of.
Hopefully, she'll soon learn what and how much she needs to eat, but in the mean time I'm glad she has friends like these to help her out along the way.
