Up Up and Away!

So a few weeks ago, we were at the pool, swimming around and we were talking about it being close to the end of summer and that the pool was going to be shutting down soon. I mentioned to Izze that if she wanted to go off the High Dive she was going to have to do it pretty soon. I was really just teasing with her, maybe putting a little nugget of a thought in there, but she replied, "Ok, Ill do it now."

And sure enough, she went down to the other end of the pool, climbed up the stairs, walked to the end of the board, and with pretty much no hesitation at all, leaped out. No nose holding, no freakin out, nothing.

and splash!

Then she swam to where I was waiting near the rope dividing the swimming section from the deep end.

Then she said she wanted to go again. And again, and again. She went 4 times before it was time to go.

Such a Daredevil! I love it!
