Watch your babies by the water!

I mean I know it goes without saying, but we had a scary afternoon so I’m sharing in case it helps anyone in anyway…

We were at the beach and my kids (5 & 2) were playing in the shallow water. I was ACTIVELY watching, so I noticed the second that my younger son stepped too deep and couldn’t get his head out. I ran in fully dressed and grabbed him, but that look of open eyed terror on his face before I pulled him up is something I’ll never forget.

My head is stuck in a “what if” loop of all the things that could have distracted me for a split second and I wouldn’t have seen it happening.

Keep eyes on those babies every second near the water!!
