[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My then almost three year old almost drowned a few years ago and I was watching her! she came out of the pool after playing with DH, I took off her puddle
Jumper, looked down in my bag to get more sunscreen and when I look up she was nowhere to be found. In less than a minute she had walked back to the edge of the pool and jumped in. When I looked up and did not see her, I ran to to the pool and saw her under, yelled and my husband who was with our other child reached her in a matter of seconds. She was fine, because it has only been seconds. But even with two adults (and my mom!) who were doing nothing but watching/playing with the kids we had an incident. Also, she thought she could swim because of the floaties. It really does give them a false sense of safety.

Scary story and I’m glad ended well. Just curious why you didn’t jump in after DD?  No judgment intended, I just cannot image having the presence of mind to do anything except jump in.  [/quote]
