Taking the plunge

Well, she did it. My oldest daughter jumped off of the diving board on Saturday. This after a whole summer of splashing in the shallow water, moving on to neck-deep territory, then on to water over her head. When I finally told her she could try it, she climbed up, walked out to the end of the spring-board, looked for a moment as thought she might turn back, then grabbed her nose and jumped into the 12-foot end of the pool! She was so excited to have finally done it. Her first words after taking hte plunge? "I want to do it again!"
