Today was a big day for Caleb. During swimming lessons he decided to finally try going down the water slide for the first time, and he loved it! So when we went from our evening family swim, he really wanted to go down the slide again. But during open swim there are rules about the slide, and in order to slide you must swim the entire width of the pool on your own without touching the bottom. So Caleb decided to try this. He failed the first time and tried again and failed. This really upset him and so we had a moment of anger filled with "This is not fair, why do they ask so much, this is too hard.....etc." We gave him a hug and told him not to worry about it. He didn't have to pass the test today. Well he played for a few minutes on his own and then suddenly came and touched the side wall and starting swimming. He swam and swam with of course his dorky parents cheering him on and and jumping up and down beside him.......AND HE MADE IT!!! So he got to go down the water slide all by himself. It was so much fun! I love being a mom and moments like that just make it so worth it.
Here are some fun videos of some of the cool things Caleb is doing in the pool now that two weeks ago he wouldn't even consider doing. Technology is wonderful and allows you to show off to the grandparents!
