We finally did it. Elaine, Christian and Eleanor, Ben, Lucas, Elliott, and I went to exotic Sunnyvale for a thrilling one-night stay in a hotel with a POOL! It was epic.
Lucas has always been a little afraid, or should I say, terrified of the water. He doesn't like getting water in his hair, or his eyes, or his ears, or anywhere above the shoulders. But man did he ever get over that. It only took two straight days of being in the pool. By the time we left, he was jumping in from the side like a total maniac. I am so proud. Total head under water, reckless abandon fun. It was so liberating to watch him decide to love the water instead of fear it. It was supreme.
Know what was even more supreme? Him telling me that he was feeling kind of tired and would like to go to sleep in his sleeping bag at 2pm. WHAT?!?!?
Elliott of course just lumbers towards the water with no regard for his own safety and then just plops his own self in there. Reminder, keep your eye on that kid.
According to Lucas:
I loved to be jumping. I wasn't scared the first day. We had toys in the pool. There were other kids and I played with them. I loved to be in my sleeping bag. And I didn't want to go (leave). But I just wanted to stay for one more day and them come back home.
