so the only place to be was in the pool. And big things happened in the pool today.
Bird's first cannon ball(ish)!
She's a big girl now, a dare devil! Jumping in the deep end and swimming like a fish.
She's had the ability for over a year, but lacked the confidence. The deep end is, after all, deep(ish. deep to a seven year old anyways). It is deeper than she is tall, and I know I avoid water that is deeper than I am tall (yet I am a certified scuba diver, I am a walking contradiction). But this is not about me, this is about her. My seven year old who is so petite she needs a 4T swimsuit. But her imagination is larger than our house. When she swims she is a mermaid. She thinks her cannon balls splash the neighbor's houses they are so big. I love that kid.
While she cannon-balled I spent my time like this.
Life is good.
