Proud Dad

[kro]

My daughter won the 8 and under inter-school backstroke event today.

The funny thing is, she's never been a competitive swimmer, until about 3 weeks back, when she volunteered to enter in the Nayland Primary swim heats, and did really well, and made the school team. She has been doing competitive dancing since she was 5, and has always been pretty good, and now we suddenly find out she's a darn good swimmer.

Sorry for the rant, but this was unexpected, and I'm chuffed that she did so well.

Seriously, congrats to the little 'un! :first:

Thanks troops. She is a clever wee pixie, and really does work hard when she finds something she's good at.

[Trudes]

That's great Kro, it's awesome she's found something she enjoys and is passionate about, good on her too!

[Colapop]

She probably finds it real easy to compete coz she knows she's got you on her side! Kids are great!

That's awesome news Kro!! :Punk: Us chicks are bloody amazing people!!! :innocent:

Jen :rockon:

Agree on that one..............

[Lissa]

Thats Great! I think all kids need to have that 'something' they can feel good about. I would love my son to do sports... but hes not interested.... but he's really good at art, which I encourage and rave about, he even got one of his paintings put into the local museum... I now have it hanging on my kitchen wall... and I tell him all the time how awesome he is. Your daughter has found something she loves to do, shes good at, and something you can be proud of... as well as giving her heaps of encouragement and support.

I know exactly how you feel.

My daugthter lives in the UK, her sport is badminton.

Got told that she has just gotten her grading.

She is rated 9th in the UK in the girls under 15 age group. Even better is that she is only just turned 12.

Us dads get very proud of our kids achievements dont we?

[Macktheknife]

Cool! What a great result for your girl, you should be proud.
Congrats to both of you.

Thanks again troops, I appreciate the comments. If anything, it's made me realise how much more time I should be spending with both my children, to get them interested in something, and encourage them more.
