friends
my outdoor boy.
his life is centered around going outside to play,
and having friends to play with outside.
he doesnt have many friends in our neighborhood.
and unless we schedule a "playdate"...
thats the extent of his being able to have friends to play with.
this is why,
on these days when we are at the pool,
and i am ready to leave at 3 or 4..
i am a pushover,
and i get suckered into staying till 8:30.
look at how happy he is
how can i say no?

daddy.... (without stopping to take a breath) .. you are NEVER going to believe this. i passed!!! i got a band. a blue band. that means i swam the whole pool and i got a band and i put it around my ankle and all them people here know if i have that blue band then i can go off the divin board so can you come here to karas pool tonight to see me? the divin board opens soon and can you come see me jump because i got a blue band and i swam far and i passed and ...............

his voice quickly turned into a stumbling, stuttering mess of excitement.
i can NOT believe my 4 year old goes off the diving board.
neither could alot of people at the pool.
neither could alot of people at the pool.
he had to swim half of the pool by himself to be able to do this.
jack asked todd and i this morning if he could take the test with the lifeguard for the dive.
we said "sure, you can try".... thinking for sure he wouldnt be able to.
he was such a champ. i thought for sure halfway through he would be ready to give up. i was wrong. he stuck it out and swam so hard. the louder i cheered, the more i yelled for him, the harder he swam. i thought for sure i was going to start crying .. i was so happy for him.
when he touched the ladder, he immediately jumped out of the pool, threw his hand in the air and said wooo-hoooo i did it mommy!! i passed!!! i passed the test!!! he started jumping up and down ... and then i realized we were both still cheering kinda loudly, for a public pool.... and so, we went to tell the others.
another photoshoot tonight..
