Jake has a lot of fears and it takes him time to try new things. He's been jumping off the side of the deep-end over and over and over...all summer. We've tried to get him to jump off the low dive many times, but always got an adamant "NO!" On this day my mom offered him money to do it. He asked wide-eyed "How much?" and my mom said "how much will it take?' "Two thousand" he said. My mom said "how about $20?" He and Maddie REALLY "needed" that money to buy a new water bowl for Shelley the turtle...so he tried it! Here are some pix- I can't get the video to work. Sure enough, he LOVED it and we couldn't get him off it! He was even trying to do "360s" that same day. He was so proud of himself- and so cute plugging his nose every time.
