Hug your kids!

I had the scare of my life today. When the boys were swimming this morning JJ's new floatie with a chair in it had flipped over and all I could see was his legs kicking in the air. It would've been a matter of seconds before I was in the water but it seemed like slow motion and I couldn't get to him fast enough.

Alan who was right beside him didn't notice till it was all over....I cried to think of the results of being just a few minutes too late and learned an important lesson, no matter how safe you think your kids are accidents happen!
They're both pretty safe kids and have a healthy fear of water but I had come to trust the flotation device a little too much when I thot I could hurry to the toilet for literally 2 minutes....I was glad I didn't meander along the way!

He recovered soon enough to go back in in just a few minutes but I am still shook up and hope in never wears off enough to take their safety for granted! Life is precious!
