We decided to enjoy the sunny afternoon, and headed to our friend's pool this afternoon. Ben was at a youth activity so it was Kevin and I with all the girls. Harmonie is not afraid of the water so she was very excited to swim! Kemiah and Emily have both gotten better and now enjoy more freedom as their confidence and skills improve. Domonique has always been more afraid and so she was not excited about the new suit-floatie we bought for her. She was ready to sit on the steps and not get in the water. Once she had the suit on she was ready to take it off. I got in the water with the girls and helped her come off the steps. She would immediately get worried and ask to go back to the steps. After a few times she felt more confident and less afraid. It was an amazing transformation to witness. She eventually would come off the steps on her own. She then jumped into the water from the edge. Then she wanted to go to the deep end. It was so thrilling to see her come alive and really enjoy being in the water! Everyone had such a great time. I even had a hard time getting out after doing some laps and treading water. Maybe we need a pool in our backyard.
