No Fear

Billy and Paula had a big cookout at their house for Memorial Day. We made it back from Kansas just in time for the party. The food was delicious...but Brody didn't care about the food. He just wanted to get in the pool! He spent almost the entire time there in the swimming pool. Their pool is already nice and warm, so it was fun to swim with him.

Billy had a few games/contests for us to play and even had prizes! One of the contests involved diving off the diving board. When Brody saw everyone going off the diving board he wanted to participate too! He kept asking me to go down there, so I finally took him. After teaching private swim lessons for so long, I fully expected to have to lower him off of the diving board by his hands into Tyler's waiting arms. I can't tell you how many times I treaded water for 1/2 a lesson waiting for a kid to jump off the board (and these kids were way older than Brody). Well...that wasn't the case with my son. He walked right up there and jumped off without even thinking twice! Yikes! I'm REALLY gonna have to watch him this summer around the pool. He has no fear when it comes to swimming. Here's a video of him jumping off the diving board into his uncle Tyler's arms.

Cute! I wish we lived closer. Jackson could benefit from a little of Brody's fearlessness! You really are going to be spending a whole lot of time in the water this summer!
