Water Baby

This child!  Last weekend she would barely get into Lake Livingston... the last few days she's has been so much more carefree with the water. (It's kinda scary). Last summer we never really let her put her head underwater because of her tubes. So back in February when she had an appointment with the ENT we asked about this summer and he said she can do anything and everything like normal and not to worry about ear plugs or anything. So we were tossing her back and forth in the pool on Monday afternoon to see what she would do and of course she loved it... as long as we caught her before her head went under. We let enough water out of the pool so that she could stand with the water level up to the bottom of her chin so she could play without us having to hold her the whole time. We are still working on teaching her to hold her breath so she still gets a lot of water in her mouth but she coughs and spits and wants to go again. AND THEN SHE LEARNED TO JUMP OFF THE LADDER! Now we can't keep her from putting her head under. She's is still learning to hold her breath but she LOVES it. She jumps in over and over again. Then this afternoon after I had already gotten out of the pool, Granny said that she pulled her floaties off and said "I jump".. um.. NO! She has NO fear of the water (at least in Granny's pool), so we keep the ladder OUT of the pool unless we are in it with her.  We got to have some time playing with Emilee in the pool while Maecee took a nap in Granny's house. Granny listened for her on the monitor while she watched us swim.
