Olympic inspiration


We have been nothing but Olympic couch potatoes the past 10 days!!! I LOVE the summer Olympics and can sit and watch any event they will televise! Brinley is loving watching it as well. Whatever the event we are watching, she will imitate. It all started with diving and she would jump off the ottoman onto the couch with her hands above her head just like the divers. She now gets in the ready, set, go position the runners do before she starts running (butt in the air and everything!!!) I didn't know how much the swimming would inspire her until we went to the pool today!! We normally go to the pool 2 or 3 times a week. Before today, she would play in the baby pool and then we would head over to big pool where I would hold her and we would practice kicking and just hang out. We have a swimsuit with floats built in but she couldn't hold herself up and hated putting it on! Today, I put it on her and she got on the steps of the big pool and jumped in!!! Then she was floating there and started doggy paddling herself around (with no instruction from me what so ever!!) Needless to say once she started doing this, there is no more baby pool or me holding on to her! Maybe we have the next Michael Phelps on our hands...... This video is from my cell phone because I can't seem to get the great video from our camera small enough to post on here!
