Family time Part 3…

The kids had such a fun time playing together that they forgot to go into the pool.   We brought Jack’s swim stuff but told him it was too late for him to go into the pool.  Jack was fine with it and played around outside the pool getting the balls and just watching.   I noticed Jack getting closer and closer to the edge of the pool.  I kept thinking I bet he is going to fall in…sure enough Jack slipped and fell into the pool. 

The good news was, I wasn’t panicked when I saw him fall in…I just watched to see what Jack would do.  Uncle Su was quick and ran over to help Jack but Jack even fully dressed was able to swim to the wall and get out.  I guess at that point I couldn’t tell him it was too late to swim so Jack jumped in with Troy and Matthew for some night time swimming:

i just love the part, "I just watched to see what he would do."

jen-

yup, you have to give your kids a chance to pass/fail on their own. obviously if jack started to drown i would have went in to get him. i don't want to pay for those swim lessons for nothing!
