Swim Team Update

I emailed the coach about my concerns regarding swim team and she responded that everything I was concerned about was very normal/typical for kids Parker's level and age and that most of what this level was about is figuring out all this stuff and learning the routine of practice. I felt pretty bad about that since I had told Parker what he was doing (not paying attention, asking endless questions, looking at team mates, not following instructions) was bad so I told him I made a mistake and he was doing just fine. Today he dressed after practice in the locker room with the other boys. He didn't shower, but Michael is gonna go and help him do that soon. Progress.

So I guess the real problem with swim team is me. It's the same problem I have with all the kids classes. I just hate watching them. I get so stressed out even when they are doing just fine. Most parents have feelings of pride or joy or something else when watching their kids, but I just get annoyed. Sure wish I didn't, but I do. So...I'll bring a book and try not to pay attention to his lameness.
