I am mom to a Letterman!
Here he is, Mister B with his First Varsity Letter. So proud of him. After the hoops I jumped through to get my homeschooler on the high school team I feel pretty darn good. All his hard work swimming for two teams has certainly paid off. Freshman and a Letterman, so very cool!

Musings
Just the other day I got to take advantage of one of the many educational homeschooling perks. Mister B was struggling with the lesson we were on in Biology so I decided we should go back a few chapters and start over. Perk. In school if you are lost it is more of a too bad try to keep up come in for tutoring kind of thing. In going back those few chapters we discovered there was a whole section we skipped in one of the chapters. Ooops. Guess what was covered in that chapter-the stuff he was having a difficult time with. Needless to say, it is all making a bit more sense now.
High School swimming is over for the season. Almost undefeated. They lost to the last team they swam against. So close. But overall it was a great season. The club team they both swim on had its second undefeated season. I don't know how the kids who swim for their high schools and a club team manage to fit school and homework into their day. I found the experience extremely challenging and was exhausted.
Little Miss and I have taken to working out together before school starts. It has been a couple of weeks now and I have to admit (as much as I hate to admit it) but I really do have more energy and a lot more patience then usual. Who knew (ok, everyone knew, but I didn't want to believe it).
I am beginning to think that this half of the year is going to go better then the first half in terms of finding our groove. For certain I feel like a finally have a handle on the high school scheduling of work. Little Miss is so going to benefit from it when she gets to high school. Poor Mister B has been my experiment.
