Getting BRAVE!

So, after 3 weeks at the beach last summer, Sean finally warmed up to getting into the ocean. This year, it only took one day! He walks into the water on his own, which is new, and LOVES to go out into the deep water with Daddy! He asks to go in all the time. He wears a life jacket and he *might* hold on for dear life onto your neck, but he has a blast! He loves jumping the waves also. The area in front of our house has a small tidal pool and with his life jacket on, he walks around in the water alone, jumps the waves, lays down flat on his tummy and "body" surfs, and even tries to swim. One time he got a little off balance with his life jacket and had a bit of a face plant for a few seconds. He didn't cry though and didn't get out of the water. What progress! Dan and I actually have to watch him very carefully now as he is getting so brave! What a difference from last summer! Yay!
Later on, a huge wave came and Dan had to jump over it with him. He got soaked but he was ok!

Learning how to brace yourself for the waves. I told him to stand with his feet apart.
