My Fearless Daughter
By Moriah on June 22nd, 2009
Look what Adelaide discovered yesterday:
Y’all. She’s TWO.
(Like mother, like daughter… did you know I dove in high school?)
We spent Father’s Day afternoon with several other families at the pool. Great fun, food, and fellowship. I wore a tee-shirt since my shoulders are still beet red. Clearly one IS more susceptible to sunburn while pregnant. (Thanks, Gretchen & Mer! Who knew?!) Although, I haven’t peeled yet, so that’s something.
Adelaide was HILARIOUS jumping off the diving board. She didn’t even hesitate. I didn’t manage to get a mid-air photo because of the digital delay (plus I didn’t try very hard). I think we should start saving for diving lessons. (Anyone know where the 2030 Olympics are going to be held? I’m sure I could use a nice vacation by then.)
I couldn’t wake Andy, Drew, and Adelaide up later to go to the VBS program so just Madeline and I went. It was so cute to watch her with her class doing her hand motions with the verses and songs. Little kid performances always crack me up.
Other Father’s Day fun – our church sponsored a fishing day for the dads & kids on Saturday. Andy only took Drew because Madeline with a fishing rod seemed a little risky. He (meaning Andy) even caught a bunch of fish!
And lucky for me, it was catch & release.

I recently was sun burned and used aloe vera gel which kept me from peeling. This made me very happy. I hate to peel. Make sure you post about the Olympic training – we will be happy to read up on it!
Wow, she is brave! How fun though.
I still have never cooked fish in my house ever. Refuse. If he wants it he has to go get it from someone willing. And it ain’t me. Yucky yuck. And the smell while pregnant?! I can’t even go there.
I cannot BELIEVE how brave she is. Wow. She could come and give Savannah some tips on not fearing the water – we’re in swim lessons right now, and getting her head dunked under the water is NOT one of her favorite things.
Hee hee. Those 3rd children like to keep us on our toes. :-)
She IS fearless! That’s a rather high board, isn’t it? Two years old? Can you say FEMALE NASCAR DRIVER?
No, no. That’s where I’d have to draw the line. HA.
Oh yes, I know how you feel. Bubbalu is FEARLESS when it comes to water. Diving board? No problem. Thank goodness for life jackets :)
