Swim Fun

Since it’s been getting to the hot and humid part of summer here, we’ve been going swimming more often recently. On our last family trip downstairs to the pool Bree had a complete blast. She’s not really into “swimming” per say. She actually likes to just walk around the edge of the pool and climb up and down the stairs leading into the water. This time she decided she was into jumping into the pool as well. She would stand on the edge and launch herself into her daddy’s arms and then turn around and do it again as fast as her little feet touched the edge when he set her down. After she got tired of jumping Daddy took her into the water and was throwing her up into the air, much to her delight. She would count off “1,2,7, Blastoff!” Then he would throw her up into the air with her squealing the whole time. But, as soon as he caught her she was saying “Try again!” After observing all this I can’t help but wonder if we don’t have an adrenaline junkie on our hands…hopefully she won’t be asking to bungee jump on her fifth birthday!
