...my youngest son, Ian, now 2 1/2 has apparently found his bravery bone. The child that wouldn't touch the pool water with his big toe unless mommy or daddy were there to cling to on Sunday afternoon, has now taken to leaping off the 2nd step of the pool ladder without giving it another thought. Thank God I had already put his floaties on him because I was totally unprepared for his sudden leap of faith. Head plunging under the water, he came up with a shocked look on his face, then proceeded to talk himself through returning to the step (using his best high-pitched mommy voice, "kick, kick, kick, kick,....) then jumping off again...and again, and again, and again.
Gonna have to be sure he's never outside without me now, darn it - sometimes fear is a good thing, you know?
Oh well! Wish I'd had my camera because his smile was absolutely priceless :)

Aw, that's great! Not for you, but for him! I'm hoping Tyler finds a bit of that bravery soon or else Schlitterbahn is going to be a tad boring when all we do is stand in water knee-deep.
Uh-oh...sounds like a fledgling case of DBS (Danger Boy Syndrome)! My brother had it, too. Keep an eye on that one!
