Since the time we have come back from our holiday in the US, the little one's swimming has undergone drastic changes. She now swims lengths very confidently in the adult's pool without once touching the floor. Also, she is able to swim underwater for quiet a while.
On her dad's birthday, as has become the family tradition on any of our birthdays, we went for a family swim. She thoroughly enjoyed the session and was chasing me along the length of the pool.. I ran while she swam and caught up with me with ease :)
However, I am always terrified that she might get overconfident and do something impulsive and put herself in danger in the pool. So when we were walking back from the outdoor pool and she ran in to the indoor pool and put her foot in, I said ' How many times have I told you not to get into the pool without amma or appa? Please have the patience to wait!'
Her reply ' Amma, if you waited for 10 minutes, you would have seen that I was only dipping my feet and did not get into the pool. You need to be more patient amma!'
Gulp!
And she turned 6 just a few days back.
Double Gulp!
I rest my case.
PS
This monday is her assessment at the preparatory school. A big step for her and us. I am tensed and scared for her and us. ( The pounds involved!) Dad and daughter however, are cool as usual.
