Breaking Point

How do you know your daughter has hit her breaking point? I'm guessing it is when she is standing 20 feet in the air at the top of the water slide bawling her eyes out and begging to come down while the line of kids behind her, the lifeguard, and half the pool stares at her. Amelia came so close to overcoming a major fear of hers today. We're proud of her for climbing to the top and almost taking the plunge.  However, she's disappointed, embarrassed, and being far harder on herself than any 6 year-old should be.  Ahhhh, the joys of growing up.
