On Saturday after our chores at home, we took a break to go swimming at Grandma and Grandpa Dibble's. Stella isn't afraid of the water, but she prefers to stay on the steps and splash around. Occasionally we'll drag her out and try to get her to kick around, but she always wants to go back on the steps.
All of the sudden she said, "Three, three, three!" and then jumped to me from the top step. She did this CONTINUALLY for the next 20 minutes until Elliot finally took her in the house. She wasn't going to stop! She'd just jump, do her best to try to find me and the second she took one breath, she was pushing off of me to swim back to the step taking no thought into how far away she was and the fact that she can't swim.
This makes me so proud of how brave she is, but also freaks me out that she ISN'T AFRAID! I'm sure she swallowed so much water and between jumps, she'd belch like her Mommy to get the extra air out. She makes me so proud! We didn't get a picture of her jumping in the pool, but here is a Sunday picture! Isn't she so cute!
