Summer is coming to an end. This time next week TJ will be in school and Grant will be waiting to start kindergarten. It has been a good summer for Grant.
Grant has come so far this year in the pool - a big boost of confidence he just seemed to grow into.
One week he was barely going in the deep part of the pool (where water would be over his head) to jumping in the deep end - usually to attack his big brother. Grant would rarely go down the new slide at the pool and now, well, look at the video!
Also gone is the need for a mask - an insistence that required constant attention because the mask came off, or leaked, or Grant didn't want it that particular moment. Grant did not - and still doesn't to some extent - like water in his face and so a mask was a necessity. Then, one day, it wasn't. There was no fanfare or announcement - he just stopped needing it.
And at the end of the summer I am a little excited because I will be taking him to Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom in a few weeks. Grant's new found confidence means he can go down the "volcano slide" at Disney's Polynesian Resort pool.
