If it ...So glad she is a naturally gifted swimmer. If it makes you feel any better my mom tells the story that she was 8 mo. pregnant with my youngest brother, my other brother was 2 and I was 4. In a split second my brother jumped into the deep (2") kids pool at the same time I jumped into the deep end of the olympic pool. <BR/><BR/>She lost her mind (she says). Yanked us both out, walked into the office and signed us up for swimming lessons immediately.The Roaming Southernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940822538686256260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8898284498116690615.post-9925047742173339612008-07-01T18:49:00.000-04:002008-07-01T18:49:00.000-04:00We can't have our eyes on them every second.

She sounds like she might take to swimming lessons like a duck to water (bad comparison, I know.)CelticBuffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467367934488336830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8898284498116690615.post-41264316108932151932008-07-01T03:17:00.000-04:002008-07-01T03:17:00.000-04:00There have been a few times in my son's life where...There have been a few times in my son's life where disaster was averted. I try not to think of it in terms of "what ifs" - I look at them more like lessons learned, and good luck gained. I could dwell all day on those if I let myself and it does no one (including him) no good. It's hard though, I know!BusyDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952002627143960250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8898284498116690615.post-22662291859195955192008-06-30T15:40:00.000-04:002008-06-30T15:40:00.000-04:00You are FAR from the worst mom in the world... Yo...You are FAR from the worst mom in the world... You and Jon were there WITH her. Accidents happen. (she wasn't the only one that fell in that day) It doesn't make us bad parents. Sophia is so brave! :-) I was actually impressed how calm you were. I think it was better than if you freaking out....Anyway,I'm glad that you guys were there, and I hope that other than the scare--you guys had a good time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8898284498116690615.post-11119970822311965002008-06-30T13:29:00.000-04:002008-06-30T13:29:00.000-04:00ok, you were squeezing tight to my heart strings t...ok, you were squeezing tight to my heart strings there. I too didn't want my daughter to ever be in danger in the water so my parents taught her to swim when she was four. I'm so sorry you had that scare. It's probably a good idea that she keep the swim floaty suit on even if she's not playing in the pool, only beside it. We all cope differently to this stuff. Don't beat yourself up about it, just learn and move on :) It's in the past now. And your daughter is here in the present.Autumn's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028211973653897719noreply@blogger.com
