So...we had a small incident this past weekend at the pool. Our neighbor has a pool that he allows us to come use whenever we want (he is so wonderful). We decided that with our cousins in town it would be a fun outing to go swimming. When we get to the pool the kids are super excited and ready to get in. Our neighbor comes out to show the kids their new pool toys and floats. He put one of the floats in the water and Elizabeth immediately jumps onto the float. I have my mom watching Martin (to make sure he doesn't jump in too) while I head to the car to get my swim clothes and towels. As I'm walking back to the pool I hear a scream. So I head running to the pool to see what is going on. I see Elizabeth has flipped her float over and she is in the water kicking her little feet to keep her head above water. The float is over her head and she has this pocket where her head is. Without thinking much, and with my mom there, we both go diving into the water to get Elizabeth. Yes...she is just fine. She got really scared and it took her some time to get back into the water. I am so grateful for the swim classes she has been taking. Even though she wasn't in the water but 10 seconds, she know how to keep her head above water and not sink down to the bottom. We did enjoy a fun swim day and the kids played and had a great time jumping into the pool.
