Phelps is "Swimming Fastest"

Last night was a big night for Anja . . . it was probably the first time we've given her the go ahead to sit and watch TV. We figure the Olympics are an exception to our "no TV under 2" rule. She wasn't too wrapped up in it, so I think that's a good sign! (I think she's too busy figuring out everything else around her to really care.)

Tonight I said that we were going to watch fast swimmers on TV. She eagerly went downstairs, hung a right passing by the TV, and headed straight towards the book with the fast swimmer (smart kid) on the cover. She managed to grab the 744 page, hardcover book off the table to show us. I grabbed the camera as this was too sweet to not capture the moment.

We pointed out the TV and then explained that Michael Phelps was the fastest swimmer in the world. (Or something like that.) In the middle of the 400 IM, she shouts, "He's bobbing!!!" Something tells me that she's going to be bobbing a little more when we swim now.

Phelps is truly amazing--you don't have to know anything about swimming to get that. We look forward to watching him swim to a few more golds in the coming week!
