Every day after preschool, Mom took Jaxon to swimming lessons. For fifteen minutes, he practiced back floating, splish-splashing with his arms, holding his breath under the water, grabbing the ledge, and climbing out with a “heave-ho!”
One sunny afternoon, they got to the pool before the instructor. Jaxon wiggled with excitement. He loved the water. Usually, before he jumped in, he would say, “Mommy, I’m jumping!” But this time, he forgot.
SPLASH!
