Earlier in the week we had a backyard swimming pool playdate with our neighbors Sam & Jack. We always have a blast playing in the pools and spending the day outside. Of course, who needs pools when you can just sit in the play sink? My silly kids sat in here for a good ten minutes!
And then Ryan decided to reenact the Olympics diving trials we had watched on TV the night before. And yes, since everyone has asked, he was fine! Completely safe! Mommy watched him closely and I felt he was in no danger. And no, I wouldn't let him back the chair up. He wanted to truly jump, but I draw the line at slipping and landing in grass. At least the pool had water and squishy, air-filled sides :) And yep, in the second photo he is jumping backwards. He had a great time and it was fun to watch him having so much fun, but we will work up to doing these jumps in a real pool!
Both kids were super cute watching the diving on TV. Ryan asked a bunch of questions about it and has been talking about it most of the week. I loved Abby's reactions to the dives: "Wow. Oh. My. Gosh." She was that deliberate and excited about it, so cute. They both want to be divers when they grow up! [That or work at a bank, that's what Ryan has mentioned several times recently.]
