Not my little boy anymore

10 days ago, I took the three kids to Splashdown (it's our local small water park). The kids love it and think that it is a vacation. So, off we went. Now, Riley and Caitlyn can swim so off they went right under that water and down the slides and around the big slide. Do you get that they are not afraid of the water? Though, I still got to hold on to Brodie. He still did not like getting his hair wet or water in his ears. So, he stood by me with a life jacket on, playing in about 18 inches of water. Yea!!! He is still my baby. Well....




He all of sudden learned that he was not scared of the water. It all happened two days ago on Friday. I again took the kids back to Splashdown for one last time. (I have to start work on August 1 so I can not take them again). He put on the life jacket just like normal, but then he wanted to go down the little slide, under the water, down the little slide, down the little slide and around on the lazy river... I could not believe it. He was a total different kid. SO, to make this story end, Brodie is not a baby anymore. He learned how to not be scared of the water and now we can not get him out of the water without a little crying. It is great that he is not scared, but he is not my baby baby anymore. He is growing up... (tear). Off to pre-school in a month (sniff). Okay I am done now.
