Nate is a total fish. He loves to swim & try new things. We were at our neighbor’s house – The Gublers – and the boys were swimming. Nate casually dove off their rather high rock. I knew it was time to take him to the diving boards at the rec center!
Abbie enjoys the diving board so we invited her to come along, too. I didn’t think Nate would be up for the high dive but I knew he’d love jumping and diving off the low-dive.
After a few jumps/dives on the low-dive, I asked him if he wanted to try the high dive. At first he said “no way” and then all of a sudden changed his mind. He climbed up, walked to the edge, and jumped. No fear at all! I was quite shocked and so proud of him! He had a blast trying cannon balls and pencils off the high dive, too. This is the boy who is terrified of many rides at Disneyland. Apparently as long as he’s swimming – there’s no fear.
Abbie was super brave, too! She jumped off the high dive and I was so proud of her. Nate asked me to jump & even though I absolutely hate heights, I couldn’t tell him no after he went about 20 times. So, I jumped. Abbie and I were the one-time jumpers. That was enough for us!
It was a fun afternoon with Abbie & Nate. And for their bravery, I took them to Yogurtland a few days later!
