Why do they have to get older?

Darn the dreaded aging up!  We went to a swim meet in Elsinore today and Donald qualified for the Junior Olympics!!!  He has worked so hard and had this as his goal since last winter.   However, in three weeks Donald will turn 13 and then he will age up to the next age group which has faster qualifying times.  Since J.O.'s are not until February he will have to get 13-14 times in order to go.  So as I said, Darn the dreaded aging up!  I am still very proud of both boys though, they had a great meet and dropped time in all of their events.  Nice work boys!
