My Brave Boy
My sweet brave boy has wanted to jump off the diving board all summer long. Our pool doesn't have a board, so he hasn't had as many opportunities to build up his courage as I would've liked. But yesterday he mustered up the courage to jump. And once he jumped once, he couldn't get enough. He jumped like 20 times. It was great. It's so fun watching your kids try and do new things. Once it was time to leave he said, "Mom, all this time I didn't' know what I was missing by not jumping off the diving board. I want to do it all the time now."
Thanks to Pam, Conner and Erin who invited us over for lunch and swimming yesterday. What fun! And thanks to Amy for watching my children so I could go see her husband (Dr. Bean) about my troublesome tooth! What sweet friends I have!
Summer is nearing the end. Enjoy those hot swimming days while you can before it's time for long sleeves and cocoa. Have a great weekend everyone!

Tamra,Justin jumped for the first time yesterday, too!! And, just like B, he did it over and over again! :o0
And, Nate learned how to dive yesterday and Lela go to jump off the diving board over and over and over. She'd only done it a few times before with help.
Yay Benjamin!!
