brave

We've been frequenting our new neighborhood pool.
Let's be honest. We've gone everyday since we got the key.
The atmosphere at this pool is so much fun.
It is so laid back.
The lifeguards are awesome. Not the hyper, whistle blowing kind.
And, ohh, the fun we having on the diving board!

Out of no where Tuck walked up to the diving board and got in line with all the big kids.
At first he just stood on the end so I threw him to Josh.
After he wiped the water from his eyes he said, "Again!"
Eventually he was jumping by himself.
I started to get worried about what we would do Monday without Josh.
Josh's presence always elevates the level of fun to way more than I can handle by myself.
I stuck arm floaties on him (one neon green and one neon pink), 
he wore huge, pink goggles, and he jumped to me!
I wish I had a picture of him all decked out-but I was in the water.
By the second trip to the pool Jonah was jumping all by himself.
He is so funny because he won't swim in shallower water.
He always makes sure he can touch.
Yet the crazy boy will jump into 11 feet deep water and swim like a pro to the ladder.
