Drowning (or rather going under)

I have sat and wondered what I would do if S were to go under the water while watching L get swim lessons over the last 2 weeks. I wondered if I would freak or just calmly get him out and go about our business - well now I know. S fell in the water today while at L's swim lessons. We usually play on the step across from the area where she is getting lessons. The steps are about 1 1/2 feet deep. It has worked out well. S gets to splash around and play and I get to stay cool in this 110 heat without bearing my swelling body to the world in an unflattering maternity swimsuit. Today - he reached for a toy and went headfirst into the pool. I just hopped down, scooped him up and back to splashing and playing we go. He wasn't even upset or freaked out. Just shook his head a bit to clear the water and continued playing. Guess I know now what kind of mama I would be in an emergency - calm, cool and collected.

p.s. L calls going under the water "drowning" hence the title of this post. No one drowns around here on my watch!!

Thank you God for watching over my babies and keeping us all safe in your loving arms.
