We have gone swimming 17 times (I think) in the past 4 weeks, which translates to roughly 40 hours in the pool, and Alexander finally today decided he could jump in. Last summer he was all about jumping in the pool but he started out this year's pool season feeling so timid. Now that he can confidently go under water (today he kept telling me, "I am a fish! I am!") Zoë convinced him that jumping into the pool would be a lot of fun and they spent a long time doing just that this afternoon.
Here they are first jumping from the stairs (because jumping from the ledge was too scary):
But eventually jumping from the ledge didn't seem very scary either:
Maybe we'll convince him to jump off the diving board in the next couple of weeks before the pool season is over.
