Conquering the Diving Board

Our pool took out the diving boards long before we moved here.  Today Colin got to see a real diving board. We went to my grandparents pool to swim and he really wanted to go off the diving board. Only thing is he had to get over his dislike of getting his face wet and underwater.  I loved watching the progression so here are a ton of pictures.

Thinking about going off the diving board.

First time on a diving board.

He was very excited and loved how high he was...

But I guess he didnt realize how far he would have to walk out to jump

So he climbed down and decided to try the other diving board

This one must be it.  Look how excited he looks

ummmm.... maybe not

Maybe the first one really was better

So he went back to the first one and did a little of this

And a little of that

And listened to Uncle Jeff talk about how he used to just throw Mommy off the diving board into the pool when she was younger than Colin. 

Until finally he went for it. 

And he finally did it.

"Look Mom I DID IT."  (Meanwhile Brent is slowly drowning in the background.)

After going off once Colin kept wanting to go off again and again. I'm so proud of my little diver.
