Life Saver

The older Aub and Syd get the more they tend to fight with each other.  They know what buttons to push and how to get on each other's nerves.  Despite this, I realized today how much they really do love each other.

Aubree and Sydney ended up being in the same swim level so they got to be in the same class.  They have had so much fun being together in the same class.  The other day was "deep end" day where they were going to begin learning to dive.  I knew this wouldn't be a problem for Aubree but Syd isn't quite as advanced as Aubree.

They were each taking turns diving into the 11ft water.  Aubree was doing fine and loving it but Syd was a little nervous.  On her second dive, she dove in and the teacher wasn't right there to help her back.  As Aubree saw this she immediately jumped in to "save" Syd.  The teacher saw this and quickly grabbed Syd as Aubree was going under trying to help Sydney.


All the way home Aubree kept telling me how she would save JC or Sydney if they ever were in trouble in the water.  She said all she thought about was helping Syd get back even though it was making her go under.  I thought it was very sweet to see how much she really does love her sister even if she does fight with her.
