Just Another Day At The Pool

Yesterday Eli decided he was tired of falling or leaning into Daddy's arms at the pool; it was time he became a big boy and jumped in himself. Now there is no stopping him! As you'll see from the video, Eli has no fear where this is concerned. Today we spent most of the afternoon teaching him to 'ask' Daddy before he jumps in, and we're making progress, but no backs can be turned from now on around water. Maddux missed the moments surrounding her brother's breakthrough; she slept the entire time we were at the pool.

What a fearless little guy! We can barely get Maya to get in her floaty instead of having us hold her all the time. However, when we took her to the pool the other day, she was fine. The water was a lot warmer than Grandma and Grandpa's pool so that must have been it. I don't think she's ready for jumping in yet, though. Have a great day!
