In the top 2 scariest moments of my life

Yesterday I was at my parents house with the kids and we all were swimming in the pool. Gabriel apparently thought this wet stuff he was in was most interesting and he leaned forward in his baby floaty to examine the water more closely. This caused him to fall face first in the water and I just saw a baby speedo and fat little legs sticking up out of his floaty... then they started to go under I flew across the 2 feet between us and snatched up the baby out of the water prepared to smack him on the back or whatever to accomplish breathing. While he didn't have the sense to stay in his floaty he did have the sense to hold his breath and didn't even cry or anything. When I pulled him up out of the water he just had a look like " well that was interesting" later he attempted his dive again but I was holding on to him so he had no success. The whole under water experience lasted my dad said about 5 seconds but to me in " omg my baby is about to drown land" it seemed like forever. I also had the crazy dont let baby drown mommy adrenaline that kicked in so that might be why it lasted forever. This kids is fearless I'm gunna have to watch him like a hawk so he doesn't commit babycide on accident. This experience is easily in the top 2 scariest experiences of my life the other being when I was rear ended with Elise in the car as a baby and she started screaming when we were hit. Elise tends to be more wary of stuff than Gabriel this kid is fearless, which means mommy's fear is at an all time high. *shudder*

  1. Oh, I know that was scarey for you, Nancy! Glad you noticed it or it could have been a disastorous outcome. We get busy talking and when younger kids are around they bear watching for sure! Moms are better at it than almost anyone!
