Yesterday I had my first swim meet. First I did warm-ups for thirty minutes, and then it started. All the swimmers had to do something called an IM Order where you do breaststroke, then backstroke, then butterfly, and freestyle. I was surprised by how well I dove off the block, because for the past few times I had done it, I had done it not so well. Parents timed us, and Mom even timed me some of the time. I was very happy with how well I swam. My highest placing was 2nd, because if they hadn't been timing us and if it had been a race, that would have been my placing. My family cheered me on the whole time.
When the swim meet was over, I got to pick out a T-shirt. I picked out one that read, "Hey! Over here. I've found bacon!" Above, it showed one of those people you might see on a walk-across-the-street sign, except it was swimming.
I really liked my first swim meet. I thought it was very, very fun.

The Orthodontist Trip
I am very excited because this is my first blog (although once I wrote one of my grandma's).
Today I went to the orthodontist to get some metal rings put in on my molars behind my braces and I also got my wire changed. When we got there, there was surprisingly no people. Good for us though, because then we didn't have to wait. Anyway, I was called in to get the metal rings put in. First they took out the wire. Then they got to the rings. They struggled a little trying to get different sizes to fit, and I had to bite down on this weird orange thing to help get it in. That was my right molar. Now for the left one. We did not get it in because it hurt. Why? There was so much gum tissue there that it felt like it was practically digging in. Ouch. Ryan, my brother, went to the orthodontist too to get his wire changed. Back to my story. I got to choose my color for my braces. I, of course, picked red and green because it is nearing Christmas. I asked Ryan what he had picked. He said, "Red and green." I said, "Me too."
When we were driving away, Mom suggested smoothies. We all agreed immediately and ordered some from McDonald's.
I think I did a good job for a first-time blogger. What about you?
