Last summer my mom spent lots of patient time coaching Monroe that it was okay to get wet in the pool (even your face!)
This afternoon Roe swam across the small end of the Santa Monica Swim Center, using only a pool noodle. I was so happy for her I started crying. I can only hope the aquatic environment preserved my dignity and passers-by presumed my eyes were dripping pool water.
Parenting makes you such a sap.
It is always dignified to cry when your children accomplish greatness, even in small increments:)
