she didn't drown...

bailey did swim team last year. and did fine. (i definitely prayed her across her first meet, and the same coach talked her into the water, but she did fine!)

all week, and ESPECIALLY all day on wednesday, she was saying she couldn't do it, "i am going to DROWN!"

apparently, as she was up next, she caused quite a scene. crying. again with the "i'm going to drown!" some of the adults nearby were getting kind of nervouse...but then Coach Madi (yay coach Madi!!!) talked her into the water in the way only Madi knows how to do (you can't sweet talk Bailey, you have to just tell her "you CAN do it and you WILL! now get in the water!" 
and she did...


she made her way across that pool...
so close...

i made it!
in disbelief...because she WON her heat!!! and she didn't drown :-)
