Tadpoles No More

Edge of Pond

Tadpole, edge of pond

Nelson Nieves - 2007


It looks like this will be our summer of firsts.
We began by taking the training wheels off Sean's bike, and two days later Bridget's.

Today Bridget and Sean made another milestone - "swimming for real".
They both learned to swim in the deep end of the pool today.
And if that wasn't enough, they both got up the courage, late in the day, to jump off the diving board into the deep end.
Sean REALLY wanted to do it, but just couldn't make the leap.
Bridget was sort of non-committal about her desire.
So, who should jump first?
Girrl power!
Bridget jumped first.
About 5 minutes later Sean went off the diving board.
Then he kept saying "I just can't stop jumping in".


What's next?

Tying their shoes would be nice.
