Lake life

Today was the type of day where the sun kissed our skin a little longer than usual. The sky was almost a translucent blue and the water was warm like the air, but turned cold against our bodies after hours passed. And just about the time when the sun started to dip below the tree line, my son began swimming in the lake with his sister. A sight that isn't a constant, as he is more cautious and fearful than all of us put together. But today, he conquered that cautious side of himself and donned his vest and tube and swam right beside his sister and myself. We cheered him on and his confidence grew. And when his little body pushed through the 2ft water and he climbed onto the floating dock, he danced around yelling, "I did it! I did it!" Then, his sister climbed right beside him to congratulate him on his brave accomplishment, afterwards, they both hopped back in the water, where they swam the evening away... Just one of the many pleasures of motherhood that I'm able to bask in daily.
