We enjoyed watching Andrew and Ethan swim at a few meets this summer. Andrew voluntarily signed up for the swim team, although he claims he was manipulated into it. Apparently he thinks we give missed messages when we tell him "I really think you should do it, and there is no real excuse for not doing it" and then turn around and tell him "but it's your choice." I believe these parenting skills have been around since just after the Garden of Eden and they're workin' real good. Being able to go to the meets with the Rich cousins (Aidan, Addie, & Andy) made it worth it, and the ribbons and medals weren't bad either.
