diving board

Josh and I have been taking the kids to the pool once a week during open swim. Lake and Harper love the water and enjoy spending time at the pool. Last week Lake watched the older kids jump, dive and flip off the diving board, and he thought he could do it. I was hesitant at first, and glad Josh was with me because Lake was persistant. His first jump he didn't hesitate one little bit. He looked so little walking along the board, I felt I should be up there with him holding his hand. After nearly 15 jumps off the board he was exhausted. That night when we were tucking him into bed and talking about our day he told me he was going to flip off the board the next time. I'm hoping he forgets about flipping off the board the next time we go and is content to jump without his life jacket instead...but who knows. :)
