Unexpected Celebration
Coming home from church this morning we learned that the rooftop pool is finally open. So we packed a quick picnic for lunch and headed out. We had the whole rooftop to ourselves (perhaps because it was an overcast and almost rainy day).

There is a "big pool" that is actually deeper than Mommy, and it seems to really invite you to swim with it's dark blue tiling,
and a jacuzzi-type pool of normal temperature that has a few not too powerful jets. The girls preferred the jacuzzi as they could stand on the bench. 
Jasmin has been almost swimming for awhile now, so we thought to try get her over the hump and swimming on her own. It didn't take many back and forth pushes between Mommy and Daddy across the pool before she was doing it on her own. Then there was no stopping her!
Back and forth she went, launching herself with complete abandon and no fear - even the long way across the pool! Up she'd come, chest heaving and eyes wide, hardly taking time to catch her breath before launching herself into the water again. When we could finally get her out, she was so tired!
We went home, showered and dress, and went down to the little corner store to celebrate with ice cream. Then we came home for a much needed nap. Next week is Grace's turn?
