DIVING BOARD
Jake has been so excited about going off the diving board ever since I dropped him off Erica's parent's diving board last week right before he had a chance to chicken out. Every time we asked Afton if she wanted to jump to daddy she replied with a sassy "NO!", complete with her hands on her hips.
Afton's class went over to the diving board first, peer pressure worked its course, and Afton went off the diving board! I just had to capture proof because I'm not 100% sure she'll do it again. Yeah for Afton!
Jake jumped off immediately without thinking a second thought! I call this dive the "sitting quarter pike"
And of course one last fun picture from Splash Friday when the water hopscotch turned into a very large multi-person drinking fountain/watering trough...
Quick thoughts
So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...
Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.
Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.
Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.
Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
