J and C are becoming quite the little fishes this summer, thanks in large part to the weekly swim lessons from Erin and the availability to swim in our pool every day! It became quite apparent lately how much they've turned a corner and gotten over their fear of the water and I've really enjoyed seeing this improvement.
Tonight they tried a diving board for the first time, while at Shari and Christian's for dinner (our pool doesn't have a diving board).
C went first. She's my little daredevil and when she saw the "big" kids (Christian's nieces) diving off the board, she wanted to do it too.
J was soon to follow and swam steadily across the length of the pool back to the steps with no assistance and no problems.
C got even more daring when Christian asked if she wanted to go off the diving board with him. They jumped in together and Christian threw C ahead of him. She loved it and kept asking him to do it again and again! After the fourth time, he finally had to tell her enough was enough.
The evening of pool play, dinner, and a couple of rounds of Jenga was a huge success and a much needed brake from my packing efforts!
Thanks for the invite, Shari and Christian!
Oh my goodness, what fun. My little one just wants it played again and again. They are incredible swimmers.
