This is what my four-year old did today

So, this isn't exactly what the slide looks like at our pool, but it's close; actually ours is a little bigger. He begged last year to be able to go down, but wasn't tall enough. This year, thanks to his genes (he's 48" tall), he hit the line. Trevor spent 30 minutes trying to convince me it was okay for him to go. I finally agreed, but I told him I was going to go first. I waited for him at the bottom, and as he came down he had THE BIGGEST GRIN! He kept saying over and over, "that was so awesome!"

I often say to Trevor, "where has my baby gone?" His response to me is always the same, "he is gone, Mom." That is true. He had no desire to stay little for long. He has such a drive for life, for trying new things, and to take his adventures to the next level (whether I like it or not).
