Jump!!

Today Kaden and even Kensley threw caution to the wind and both jumped into the pool today, YAY!!! This is huge for us. As long as I can remember, I've been the overly cautious Mom at the pool due to their ear tubes and it seems I'm always nagging, " are your plugs in," "don't get your head wet if your plugs aren't in," "is water getting in your ears" don't go under if your plugs aren't in," "for the billionth time, put your plugs back in." Okay, you get the picture of how we have spent our last few summers. Since Kaden and Kensley have had ear problems for what seems like FOREVER and like I mentioned I have always remained cautious around water, it honestly has taken some of the fun out of getting wet. This year I purchased custom fitted ear plugs and it has made such a huge difference. They actually stay in their ears, the kids think they are cool because of the colors, and plus the kids think it is neat that they were specially made for their ears . It was great seeing the kids doing normal kids things at the pool today. Now that the plugs have been thoroughly tested, maybe I can now think about swim lessons. I always hesitated to do them because in the past we spent more time chasing ears plugs in the pool than we did swimming, but now it seems like we have found our fix and we have dry ears!! YAY!!

Of course I had to through in a pic of Koko. She loved playing in the water with sister's water baby. Not sure if the baby doll liked it or not I think Baby Born was trying to yell for help,lol
