Yesterday afternoon we were at the pool...I hear ya. Yesterday afternoon we were at the pool and these two adorable but very rambunctious little girls accidentally knocked Liam down and because they didn't realize what was happening banged him a few more times. He was quite upset and although he calmed down quickly after I scooped him up he didn't want me to set him back down in the water. One of the hardest things I've had to do as a parent was to take him into the deeper water and make sure he spent at least a little time in the water post knockdown even though he was scared and didn't want to. Stuff like this is so important though; my best friend growing up walked into the water over her head at a lake when she was two and as a result was afraid of the water and didn't learn to swim until she was a teenager!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10654629488244098595noreply@blogger.com
