Avery Jumping into the Pool


This is a video clip of Avery jumping into the pool with her cousin Samantha. Unfortunately Avery has no fear of the water. There were a few times when she jumped into the water...hit the bottom and pushed herself up to the top. I love that she enjoys swimming I think that is something she inherited from me....but it does scare me a little. We all got out of the pool to go eat and she was right by my side eating her carrot. A few minutes later a woman came to our table and said " is that your little girl in the pool?" Instantly I panicked having been a lifeguard for many years those are words I hoped I would never hear. I looked down at the end of the pool and sure enough Avery was sitting on the steps in the pool just playing. The crazy thing is that getting into the pool is kind of difficult. The pool has a fence around it and to get into the pool you have to go past the gate where you pay to get in...go down a hallway turn into the dressing room and wind your way through the room out into the main pool entrance. It seemed like something a two year old wouldn't be able to do in just a manner of a few minutes. But of course Avery figured a way out to do it. She is really independent and has no fear of anything....except teenage boys...which is fine I hope that keeps up for another 15 years. I was going to post another video of her playing in the pool. She was drinking the water and going up to strangers and just talking to them. I think I am going to have my hands full for the next few years.....or more like the next 15.
