Lorelai has made a friend. He's 10. His name is Alexander. He's a flirt. Lorelai is eating it up.
The two of them have been hanging out in the pool both afternoons we've been here and today he was showing off his diving skills. Lorelai was rating his dives and gave him a 4 for length on one of them. His response was that the length doesn't matter, just the form.
I turned to my mom and said "it's not the size, its how you use it."

Proud Mommy
Lorelai's school had a spring carnival today. It was small but really fun. They had half a dozen games that everybody was a winner at, face painting, and food. We won a silent auction for a family game night basket complete with Checkers, Connect Four and Jenga.
Both kids enjoyed the milk bottle game, though Lorelai had better luck knocking the bottles down.
Spencer was lucky if he got the ball near the table, he couldn't decide if he throws right or left handed.
Lorelai wanted her face painted and once the teacher doing the painting talked her out of a brown horse with a black mane and tail (too hard to do) she came up with some lovely strawberries.
Spencer had to have strawberries just like his big sister. He couldn't contain himself and had to flirt with what I hope will be his 6th-grade teacher whom we met at Open House last week.
The fish pond was full of magnetic fish and the idea will probably be ripped off and make an appearance at our 4th of July party this year along with the beanbag toss.
Now we get to the reason for the title of this post. I'm incredibly proud of both of my kids for what you'll see in this video. Of Spencer for his perseverance and good attitude, and of Lorelai for her enthusiastic support of her little brother. I stopped filming just seconds too soon and missed the huge hug she gave him at the end.
