Jason and I love to watch the Olympics. We were those people drinking the extra cup of coffee and wearing sunglasses to hide our bloodshot eyes from staying up until midnight or 1am to see who won. Colton enjoyed watching them with us, too. One day, as we were driving home he asked where we were going. I told him home and he said "oh, go watch 'lympics?" I told him yes we were going to watch the swimming again. (We especially enjoyed watching the historic 8 golds won by Michael Phelps.) He thought for a second and then said, "Colton swim 'lympics". Jason and I told him that it would be great if he wanted to swim in the Olympics - we would come cheer him on. I think the excitement has worn off now as he says "no" when you ask him if he's going to swim in the Olympics.
Colton does love to swim, though, and has no fear. Here he is getting ready to jump off the diving board and is swimming back to the side to do it again. I enjoy watching him even though he scares me a lot. Somehow I don't think a 2 1/2 year old understands what it entails to be an Olympic swimmer but it does make for a fun story!! Who knows maybe he'll go for Phelps' new record!
