Flippin' Awesome!

We went swimming this afternoon, and Brishen mastered the art of somersaults in the water. I grew up in the boonies with no pool around, so it took me until adulthood to figure that trick out. Brishen did it countless times today, and even did two in a row before coming up for air. He's now trying to do three.

Can I make a confession?? This is the first time we made it to the pool this week. And why?? I must admit that I spent a long time blow drying and straightening Basia's hair on Monday, and I just didn't want to ruin all that work right away. And I'm usually not THAT kind of mom. I finally relented today and accepted that I couldn't keep her out of the pool any longer. I really need to learn how to do some sort of summer swimming style.
