One of our favorite activities is swimming. It has been a life saver during the winters here in Minnesota. Our apartment complex has an indoor pool and a hot tub. Lately we've been going pretty frequently.
A couple weeks ago I took her floaties off and wanted to help her practice swimming without them, I turned to talk to a friend for one minute (which is all the time it takes, of course) and saw Jade bouncing off the bottom of the hot tub, with her mouth barely at water level. I quickly swooped her up and out of the water. She was fine but certainly a little freaked out. I can't tell you how panicked I was. I totally balled that night telling the story to Dan. Ever since then, she's been very cautious around the water. Slowly, but surely, she's getting her confidence back.
These pictures were taken pre-water fiasco.
