Sink or Swim We're Diving In!

There are a lot of things I wish I could be better at. I'm not sure if it's natural to want your kids to excel at the things you fall short of, but I am guilty of doing just that. I hate that I'm so shy and wish I could be more outgoing so I encourage my kids to be social. I'm always the one chanting their names and cheering them on when they sing or dance in front of a crowd. Ti says that I am the pickiest eater so I make the boys try new foods at least once (sometimes twice) before allowing them to say that they don't like the taste of something. I also have a fear of drowning because I've never learned to swim. My boys are the complete opposite. They love everything about water. This summer they've started putting a lot of different twists on their dives. Siope has finally ditched his life jacket. He was the slowest to do so. I didn't think he'd make the switch on his own so I told him that this would be the last summer he could wear it in order to prep him for next year. They went to the pool yesterday and I asked him where his life jacket was and he told me he didn't want to wear it anymore. Here's some pics Neo sent me of the kids at her pool.
