it’s so true. my kids, ages 2 and 7, are drawn to water like magnets. they love everything from stomping around in mud puddles (preferably while it’s still raining), to splashing (me) in the pool, and jumping through waves at the beach. they even like bath time, on occasion.
but neither of my kids can swim.
neither of them could save themselves if i looked away to check my phone or speak to a friend and they slipped into the water at that exact moment.
it’s a horrible thing to think about – one of those things that keeps us parents up at night. but you have to think about it in order
