We not only have a wannabe mermaid for a daughter, we have a scuba diver for a son! About 1/2 way through the summer, whenever we would go to the pool, Preston would walk to the edge, turn around (so his back is to the pool), put his right hand over is eyes, and step in/jump in backwards. When we asked him why he did that he said, "that is how all the scuba divers do it." Then it all made sense....sure enough, next time we watched him - he did remind us of a scuba diver, just without all the gear! From then on...all we heard about was scuba diving...he has been watching videos of scuba diving on youtube, he has been asking how old he has to be before he can try scuba diving..everything, EVERYTHING was scuba diving! We told him he better start out with snorkeling first and then advance to scuba diving. So, we made a trip to the store and each of the kids got to pick something out. Preston picked out some flippers and a breathing tube... when he picked that above toys..you know this is serious! Well, he has been wearing it non-stop at the pool now! We just need to get the kid a good mask to go with it.....
Preston brought him this completed assignment from school... We had to include it on here, because it pretty much sums up our little man... The assignment was to write about his "dream day" His dream day would include his three favorite things which are ... motorcycles, scuba diving, and going to Sea World! ( We were pretty proud of his drawings (Laura and Clay are pretty sure they wouldn't be able to draw motorcyles, a scuba diver, and a killer whale as good as Preston!) and being able to sound out the words! Good job Preston - and it's only the first week of 1st grade. Mom and Dad are very proud of you!
