The Paper Mama: Blue

I had lots of blue photos I could have entered in this week's challenge over at The Paper Mama, but this one just makes me smile. First of all, it totally captures how water plus a child equals pure joy. I love that. But, more importantly, this was a huge milestone for C. Today she jumped off of our hot tub edge into the pool for the first time. She went under and this is her when she popped up. That smile is not only pure joy. THAT smile is also pure pride in herself and her bravery. Anyway, this may not actually be my best blue photo, but it is the one that makes me smile every time I flip to it.
