Have you ever been to a naked syncro show?
(No I had not either)
Until last night in my backyard.
Sounds gross eh? And a bit creepy maybe? It isn’t and was all very innocent but when I
thought about it later, I realized what a great blog post and memory this would
be to record.
Here’s the deal. We have a boyless week since boys in Toronto.
Just me and my girl. And a man (her Dad).
So last night me and Hubby were sitting under gazebo me
facing the pool and his back facing the pool and Beauty says” I want to show
you my synro routine”
Ok.
And then she says” I want to go in pool naked since there
are no boys here. Being naked in a pool is very liberating”
Oh really?
Do you do this often child?
After we pointed out that there was a boy at home (her
Dad) and after she pointed out that his back was facing her (true)…I allowed it.
And so she swam (in her freeing way) for a long while. When
it came time for the synro routine she begged if we could both watch and somehow she convinced us to agree. We kind of forgot
she was naked by that point anyways.
So there we were watching this. It was crazy. It was then
and there I realized we did not have a little girl anymore but a very little
and growing woman.
Why did I realize this? Because we both felt so uncomfortable and embarrassed about watching
this. We can be really strict about some things and really permissive about
others.
It felt weird. We had crossed our own barriers in our own
backyard.
Naked girl doing syncro is very odd to say the least.
We kept looking at her growing little boobies and
commenting and giggling like little kids. Having no idea where to look or what
to say. Thanking God we have lots of trees to keep the neighbors away.
There were no ifs and buts about it..:
There
would never ever be a naked syncro show again.
It
was time for her to put a bathing suit on.
Then and there I clearly understood. She is my last one to go through the awkward” seeing a kid
naked stage”. I have no more naked kids anymore apparently. What will I do???
(And certainly no more naked kids going to give us a spectacle
in the pool).
So it was a big realization for us and a big fat fact.
Our daughter is growing up.
And..our daughter has a lot of confidence in her body to
say the least (is that a good thing?:) ever heard of too much of a good thing? She
can be that.
Have you
watched any naked synro shows lately?
I am guessing not.
