When you go to a cottage, and there's a speedboat, and there's a big tube with handles to hold on to, what do the adults do? Well, they usually sit in the boat and watch the kids have all the fun (or do the things they're scared to try).
But when your three- (almost four-) year-old daughter asks you to go with her - and you're convinced she probably shouldn't do it without an adult - you really should say yes.
I said no. To be honest, I was a bit scared.
Thanks to this little project of mine though, when my daughter asked for a second time if I would do it with her, I said OK - not a resounding, excited "YES!" but still, a firm "alright."
So I did it. And unsurprisingly it was pretty fun and not at all hard.
When things got a bit bumpy, my daughter decided she'd had enough. I signalled the people in the boat and was not too depressed that it was over.
I said no. To be honest, I was a bit scared.

Next time she asks me to something like this, I'll forgo the initial "no" and get right to the firm "OK."
