1,2,3...JUMP!

Kaitlyn has become quite confident in the water these days. Unfortunately, a little TOO confident. We taught her to "1,2,3..JUMP!" into the water from the side of the pool, and we let her go all the way under before picking her up. She does this at least 100 times during a typical visit to the pool. This is fine and dandy, except sometimes we'll hear a little "un, two, tee" and hear a splash when our backs are turned. Hmm...she's still jumping TO us, but a little scary just the same. Gotta watch that kid!

Interestingly enough, Kaitlyn has also decided to apply this new-found skill under the regular constraints of gravity. A few times we've caught her counting "un, two, tee" and jumping off of rather high furniture to us, expecting us to catch her as we did in the pool! Fortunately, we've managed to brace her fall each time, but I'm waiting for her to try THAT with our backs turned!
