We have several informal 'summer goals' around here. Nothing drastic or written out for all to see. But things we've discussed that we should try to accomplish during the summer. One of Sidney's summer goals was to jump off the diving board and swim to the edge, without help or a floatation device. Keep in mind she's 4 years old, and rather hesitant at trying something so daring, so I wasn't sure this was realistic.
Well, today she went for it. Out of the blue she asked me to stay close to her in the water, but yet allow her to do this 'trick' on her own. I coached, encouraged and cheered for her as she made the initial leap! She was so excited and proud of herself that she did it over and over again. Thank goodness she kept going because that allowed me to take a quick video!
