The Waterpup on day three!
So, today, the pup hit another milestone in the whole swimming lesson crusade, for it was jump off the diving board day! She doesn’t usually have much fear to speak of, and CLEARLY loves the water and I’m beginning to wonder if she has gills to go along with her long skinny feet that look suspiciously like flippers at times – but even so, I wasn’t sure if she’d chicken out or not. After all, I have never ever jumped off a diving board in my entire life and I have exactly zero plan to do so, ever. So I wouldn’t blame her at all- though I totally would let the coaches toss her in give her a nudge in the right direction. I have a ‘mean’ rep to protect, after all!
So anyway, at the end of the lesson, everyone moved to the diving board, and after letting EVERYONE ELSE GO FIRST because she was a little scared being polite and waiting her turn, she couldn’t put it off any longer – and with only the slightest of hesitations, she took the plunge!
Hurray! She also made it almost the entire way across the pull without having to stop/grab onto Coach Billy. By the end of next week, I fully expect her to pass out of lvl 2 and into lvl 3 the following week. I also expect I’ve a long year of swim mom coming up this winter. Of course, this also means I’m eying all of those KCHS Lady Kardinal records that hang on the wall at the pool, the ones that say “M.B.” from the early 90s. I fully expect the lot of them to be replaced by the year 2016 with “J.M.”
I mean, just LOOK at that form though – don’t it belong on a Wheaties box? I thought so too. But no pressure, pup. No pressure at all. *grin*
PS – anyone know where can get a set of those *points up* for my house? And padlocks to go with them? After all, it’s a step up from her box, right? hahahhaha.
My man, D-man.
Today I’m one PROUD auntie! D-man has had it rough his whole life, and we, as his stepparents, stepgrandparents and stepauntie have done our best to love him through every little step of the way – all the babysteps forward, the leaps backward, the painful starting overs. We’ve triumphed with every success, and did our […]
SYTYCD – Week 4
Seriously, so many hits tonight, and even though the judges were harsher on some dances that I thought were great, overall tonight was one hell of a good program! The judges seemed a bit nitpicky tonight, and at one point Nigel got snippy with the audience telling them to “stop booing for heaven’s sake” because […]
Possible Cast Names?
A poster over at Reality BBQ who has been right many times in the past couple of seasons has given Spammy his list of the houseguests! If he’s right on the money as he was last year and the year before (He gave the décor of the house days before the release, also told us […]
America, do you have talent?!
Sometimes during the audition process, I just can’t understand how some of these folks became so sure they have talent worth $1,000,000 – thus forcing us to sit through some of the worst auditions ever… I do not envy the judges, not even the Hoff! Here’s a montage of tonight’s bombers: Yup, there’s 8 minutes […]
