Where We Learned Seb Has A Disconnect In His Brain.
Bill and Anne generously invited us for a weekend of skiing up at Whistler, and we very eagerly said Yay! and packed our bags. At the wonderful condo we stayed at, they had this really cool outdoor pool where we spent a lot of time. This was also the place where we discovered Seb has a disconnect in his brain. A rather serious one, in that he doesn't seem to understand that he can't breathe under water. My sweet, daring, fearless crazy child would fling himself off the side of the pool with absolute abandon, and a frightening, childlike trust that someone, somewhere, would facilitate his return to the surface. Most of the time we got there pretty quickly, but even when we didn't Seb was supremely unconcerned, and would begin to rub the water out of his eyes before we brought him up. Dean and I were delighted (and terrified) by his apparent lack of fear, and his trust in Mommy and Daddy to take care of his basic needs (like oxygen).
*note - We invested in water wings on our way back home, and Seb will be starting swimming lessons post-haste.
