Today was a good day. Nope. Today was a great day! After 10 days of helping our friends pack we decided not to get back on the road just yet so we had a day of leisure... the kids and I actually got to use the pool at the campground. Boy was it an expensive swim. But it was SO worth it.
You see, today my daughter overcame her fear and she put her face in the water. Not only that, but she completely submerged her whole body under the water. And then she swam about 10 feet before inhaling water. But you know what? That didn't deter her and she tried again. She still has a long way to go, but today was the turning point. Today she overcame her fear and there will be no stopping her.
The shear joy in her face as she shivered her way back to the camper to tell Daddy that she could swim was a sight to behold. Days like today make all the rough days as a mom worth it.
Congratulations Kyrie!! Sort of like first steps but in water.
