Today Alli decided to be a bit braver. She will let go of objects and walk, as long as her destination is within a few steps. Today she decided to walk across our bedroom. I noticed that she would only make these brave attempts in carpeted rooms. That's okay, it's a confidence builder. It was really cool to watch her just out in the middle of the room, walking around. What a big girl!!!
Her bravery is evident in the pool as well. She's starting to go under water herself. She'll stand on the seat of the hot tub and bend her legs til her mouth and nose go under water. Then she springs up. Of course we're right there in case something goes awry. She's also walking completely off the step and under, only to get swooped up by mommy or daddy because the middle is way over her head. We usually grab her from under the water and she comes up laughing. Yikes! Scary in a way that she's so brave to just walk off the edge into a deep pool of water, very cool that she's not afraid as it should be easier to teach her to swim. We continue to work on swimming lessons in the pool every weekend, and as many days as possible over them.
