He Did It.

He walked up the steps to the top of the slide, looked over it, looked down the tube and turned around and walked down the steps.

He did it again.

And walked down again.

He got into the water, walked to the bottom of the slide, verifying what he already knew that he would be able to touch when the end of the slide came.

I said nothing. Just watched him carefully calculate his slide ride. Wondering if this would be the visit to the pool where he'd finally just do it.

Finally, without making a show of it or anything, he just walked up the steps, waved at the life guard and slid down.



Cool as a cucumber, as though he'd done it 100 times before, he did it.
