DEEP DIVE

It's clear by now that Tobin was born to be in the water. (Is it too early to start calling him "The Next Michael Phelps"?) What's been great to see is his discontent with just swimming, instead, he just keeps pushing himself to try something new.

While we were in Florida (at Disney) earlier this year, he goes, "hey guys, watch this" and did a flip off the pool's edge. We didn't teach him, he just went for it. Now he's decided that he not only wants to figure out how to dive, but he wants to touch the bottom of the deep end of the pool (which is 8 feet). So now he's taking instruction on doving headfirst into the pool. He did successfully swim down and touch the pool's bottom before swimming up for air - an incredible feat for such a little guy!

Now both boys are starting to bug us about going snorkeling. Guess we'll have to plan the next trip accordingly.
