Emerson, who is completely fearless when it comes to water (. . . or climbing tall ladders, or jumping off of high objects, or swinging from things, etc.) reminds me of Hannah at the same age. She doesn't want you to catch her (because, naturally, she thinks she can swim); and, she never tires of jumping in and "swimming" underwater. Being at the pool with Emerson requires constant vigilance and completely wears me out!
During our visit to Grammy's house, Hannah decided to brave the "high dive" (that's 3 meters or 9.8 feet). I have jumped off this very board more times than I can count; but, watching my baby climb the never ending ladder and carefully walk to the end of the board sent my stomach into my throat. The first jump was a little timid. However, there were countless successive jumps--each with a little more gusto!
Madeline, who conquered the huge twisty slide last year, decided it was time to take on the 1 meter diving board. This meant she had to jump in and swim to the side all by herself (parents aren't allowed to swim out and meet their kiddos--though Daddy is always on the side ready to spring into action). She was a pro!

Your three little cuties are three little fishes for sure! Glad the weather was so nice while you were here so they could get in lots of pool time.
