Team Shirt

Guess who is officially part of the Boardworks competitive diving team? Tonight, Kje dove in his first "mini-meet" and came 6th in his class. As part of the event, the coaches handed out prizes and then gave each team member their own t-shirt.

"It's not a t-shirt mom," Kje tells me afterwards. "It's a team shirt." I love that!

A few hours later, after the good-night tickle and giggle.....

"Guess what mom?"
"What?"
"I'm going to wear my team shirt to school tomorrow to show everyone."
"Great idea. Good night."

Pause...

"Guess what mom?"
"What?"
"I'm going to wear my team shirt to school tomorrow."
"Perfect."


Pause again...

"Guess what mom?"

"What?"
"I'm going to wear my team shirt to school tomorrow."
"What a great idea."

Repeat the above a few times, then one last time...
"Guess what mom?"

"You're going to wear your shirt to school tomorrow."
"Yep."

He definitely feels part of the team now.
