Thanks to a waterproof cast cover that a friend lent to us, we made two visits to the pool this week. Last night, Marci passed the swim test and received a coveted green bracelet to signify that she can swim in the deep end and go down the slide all by herself. She was quite proud of herself and immediately asked if she could eat off the special plate like her brother did when he passed his swim test. Boy, that girl doesn't miss a thing! The weather wasn't the greatest last night, which meant that we ended up having the pool all to ourselves. This was especially nice because it gave us a chance to try out the slide and the deep end without distraction. Of course, that was really more for my sake than Marci's, who has taken to swimming with a cast without so much as missing a beat. While I waited at the bottom of the slide with my stomach in my throat, she was all grins and giggles coming down the slide. I'll have to get a picture of her in action next time! And Osten was a big help, especially with showing her the ropes of the slide. ("Ropes? What rope, Mommy?" he said.) That's Osten in the background of the picture. They both had been showing off their handstands to the lifeguards on duty.
