Aaron and I have been visiting the local pool a lot this summer. While he still won't go in the big pool, Aaron has finally gotten use to playing in the "kiddie" pool which is 1 foot deep at it's deepest.
The other day, I was watching him walk around the edge of the pool. The next thing I knew, he was face down in the water! I jumped up, went flying across the pool and reached down to pick him up! By that point, he had already gotten his head up and was trying to sit up in the pool. I picked him up and loved on him, trying to be calm and not frighten him even more. He had some water in his ears, but other than that seemed to be fine. In fact, he went right back to playing!
I, on the other hand, was not alright. I think might have had a minor heart attack! I kept seeing that image of him over and over in my head. This "mom thing" is tough business!
