This past weekend the Olympic Diving trials were played on TV. I decided it would be a good thing to watch while the boys were playing with their cars and Legos. We watched both the platform and spring board diving.
After a few minutes of watching men dive, Jackson was completely enthralled. He just seemed to be mesmerized by it. A few more minutes later, Jackson decided to become a diver and took off all of his clothes except for his underwear. Why you make ask? Because divers wear Speedos, and he was going to be a diver.
After the disrobing, he started to jump off of furniture and pretend he was diving in the water. Not only that, he started commenting on all the dives. Saying, "Look Mommy, he's jumping. Ooh! He twisting. He's jumping into the big pool!" And my favorite, "Yeah! WooHoo!" when the divers would finally splash in the water. This all came with huge arm movments, much pointing, and of course clapping and fist pumps.
I couldn't stop smiling and laughing at him. Jackson was just having a ball. He even would try a handstand when the divers would dive off of the platforms in one. It was quite an amusing experience! Cullen even got into it and started pointing, oohing and aahing, and clapping.
It will be interesting how he responds to the swimming trials which are supposed to air tonight. I'm hoping I won't have to wrestle him back into his clothes once they're done. I just might have to make bath time right afterward.
