Anything But Gray

There is a public pool, right around the corner from our house.
It's right beside Gabby's school….
Anyone can go and it's free. Very cool on those hot, hot summer days!

Jaime and Ben both took swimming lessons in Alaska and Jaime can swim….she isn't super proficient yet, but she can manage. Ben…nope. LOL But he still loves to go….

Now before you can go into the deep end of this pool, you have to pass a test for the lifeguards (FIVE lifeguards are on duty whenever the pool is open…LOVE IT!!! ). Jaime has not been able to pass it, so she has been in the shallow end. And she has wanted to pass this test because all her friends can go in the deep end.

Yesterday she went to the pool with Sabrina, one of her friends from the neighborhood. She tells me THIS MORNING that she passed the test yesterday and she can go in the deep end now!!!! I am so proud of her!! Why she didn't tell us this last night, I have no idea….LOL

So here's the catch….I'm super proud of her and I love how excited she is! But on the other hand….I kind of liked her staying in the shallow end. Between knowing she was in the shallow end and the fact that there are FIVE lifeguards on duty, made me feel comfortable with letting her go to the pool with her friends. Now I'm gonna be all nervous again…LOL  I'll get passed it….but man, I hate that I am such a worrier, sometimes I wish I could just friggin' RELAX. 

But then….I wouldn't be me, now would I ??? LOL

Yay for Jaime!!!!! So proud of my little girl!!!
