Brave Pants

We thought water slides required a set of brave pants,

but diving boards? 

All kinds of bravery must be put on. 

While at the water park in Florida,
Mark did this...

So Sophia wanted to too. 

Wait.  What? 

Our girl can be a bit timid.

Sometimes though she floors you with some random bravery.

 

First came this long slow walk out to the edge,

and we (being the pitiful, doubting parents that we are) thought

it would end there. 

Nope.  The finger went in the mouth,

but with a smile...

Seconds later...the brave pants went on.   

Which resulted in a big one of these,

followed by a victory lap.

Bravery must have felt good, because she stepped off AGAIN!

Her wooping, clapping, fuss-making cheering section

voted this baby a perfect, gutsy ten. 

 

What sweet joy it is to see your child overcome.
