We had a great time swimming in the little swimming pool at Gummy and Babu's house last night. The water temp got to about 85, which was tolerable for Claire and me, but G and B declined to get in. Right now Claire is anxiously awaiting our next swim. She is hovering near the edge (supervised!) and I keep expecting her to "accidentally" fall in so she can get her hearts desire...swimming RIGHT NOW!
It reminds me of when we moved to Dallas when I was 15. Our new house had a swimming pool, and the day we moved in it was glittering, blue and beckoning, offering respite from the unbearable Texas heat. Unfortunately, we had boxes to unpack and lots of moving-in boring stuff to do. My dad chose the perfect moment to push me in, effectively freeing me from chores and fulfilling my hearts desire of that particular moment: swimming RIGHT NOW!
It was great!
In this video, Claire shows off her fearlessness. She is a wonderful swimmer, and jumper! In case you can't catch it, when she and I are chatting in the corner, I ask her what she is doing and she replies that she is chasing a "boo-gah" but it is too fast. Ew!
