Ella Was Going to Try to Dive....

Ella can swim just fine, but she was a little slower to get used to the water than Hadley or Layton. She had tubes multiple times and just didn't want to put her head under water for quite some time. Now, she really enjoys swimming. At a friend's birthday party she wanted to try and do a dive off the board. Well, she tried.


She pointed her hands and bent her head over, but she still jumped feet first....


And then she just let her feet split way apart...


And then she sort of looked like a Mary Lou Retton pose...


And she went on in the water...

She'll learn to dive eventually; I have no doubt. I don't remember being afraid to go head first into the water, but I'm sure it took me a while to learn to dive too.
