Today I face one of my top fears and took my daughter to a public pool. Usually I HATE public pools because I don’t like being in crowds, I’m self conscious and my daughter is just really hard to handle especially at a place like that but my aunt invited us to go with her and all of the kids so we tackled it. I’m so glad I did too. She had a blast and with so many of us being there together I got a small break cause my family pitched in and played with her so that I could have a little fun too. I got blistered and we’re both exhausted but we had a pretty good day. I’m so glad I didn’t let my anxiety ruin any of it. (I even let Dakota jump into the pool *which she’s never ever done* without having a panic attack and she freaking LOVED it!)

Pics of all the kiddos she got to play with today. Two of them are her cousins that live in Georgia and are only here until Friday so that made it a little extra special.
