Ben has had quite a few cousins be baptized this year, which we've really enjoyed. Tonight, Ben came upstairs after having been tucked into bed. He was very concerned about something, so I went to ask him about it. Here is the ensuing conversation:
"Mom, I can't get Baptized," said Ben, very expressively.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because I can't hold my breath. I'm afraid I will drink some of the water. I can't hold my breath because I tried and I can't."
At this point, I reassured Ben of two things: first, that I would get him into swimming lessons next year, and they will teach him how to hold his breath; second, that four years is plenty of time to learn how to hold his breath.
"Will you get me into hold your breath lessons too?"
"Of course."
"Oh. Okay! Thanks, Mom."
haha! That is classic!

That is funny. Tell him when he comes to Aunt Amanda's house Makayla can teach him in our pool. Or just move down here and we can practice eveyday in the summer! Hehe
