Pool Party!

Reece has always been very timid about water.  Even last week when we took him to the lake, he would not get in without holding on to one of us...even with his life jacket.  We finally got him to let go of us where he couldn't touch, but he stayed within an arm's reach.  Yesterday, Reece's friend, Hendrix, had a pool party.  Reece was very excited about going, but I figured he would stay in the shallow end where he could touch.  Well, after about 30 minutes, I looked over and he was climbing onto the diving board.  I thought, "there is no way he is gonna jump off of it" so I sat there and watched and sure enough he did!  I couldn't believe it!  He was SO proud!
That's the birthday boy Hendrix in the water...
There is Reece's best buddy James (in the green) and Kyrin.
Brenton and Aiden were there also...
At first Reece held his nose and closed his eyes...
But, by the time the party was over, he was doing cannon balls! Seriously!
Do you think he's taking lessons from his Uncle Eric who was doing DOUBLE flips?!?!
Fun, fun party!
