Jack, Max being hugged by Lucy and EthanLike I've said before, I am glutton for punishment, but the kids can never say that they have had a boring Spring Break! We met the Hakalas, Ficeks, Dacars and Angelestranos at Splash for an afternoon of waves and water slides. I was bragging to the moms about how it is so cool that my kids are at the ages that they are, because I don't have to get in the pool and get wet anymore. I can just sit on the sidelines, stay dry and cheer them on! Yeah right! One thing that having kids has taught me is that you always have to eat your words. The boys are pretty good swimmers and they just want to play with their friends anyway, so they don't need their mom hanging around. Lucy usually just likes to hang out in the baby pool (pee pee pool is what I like to call it) and I can just watch her. Well, of course, she chose today to want to try the water slide for the first time. So the next thing you know, I am being whisked down the slide with Lucy on my lap holding on for dear life. We laughed and screamed the whole way down until we were shot out the end into the pool where I held her up as high as I could so that her head wouldn't go under (her biggest fear) while I was completely under the water being tossed and turned and kicked in the face by her. When we finally popped out, she yelled "that was so fun lets do it again"! Yeah - so fun for YOU! No, just kidding, it was fun to see her try something new and get excited about it, to talk her through her anticipation as we waited in line & and to laugh and giggle with her the whole way down! I guess staying dry isn't all its cracked up to be!
Wow, SUPERMOM, I was feeling pretty good about all the stuff I did for my kids until I read your blog. What special times for you guys - and way to get in the pool with your daughter - I feel the same way about not wanting to, but then feel like a "good mom" once I do. Bravo for giving your kids such great memories (and recording them here on the blog....and btw - it looks like BookSmart(Blurb) is now working with Blogger again....)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS JULIE!!! That is fantastic, and what a great age to teach... you'll have so much fun.
