We live in a place that has several small duck ponds nearby, and I often take my son to go feed the ducks and play in the grassy areas. The bug loves water, and if he can find even a puddle he will be in it before you can blink. Because of this my husband and I often joke that we are counting down the days till we have to fish him out of the pond.
Well that day finally arrived. We were having a picnic with some friends by one of the ponds and guess who supermaned right into the water. I dove right in after him, and I have never been so thankful for the swimming lessons he took last summer, which helped keep him afloat till I grabbed him. Luckly nothing bad happened, just a few scrapes and a bruise on his back, but it was a very scary moment for us. Once the adrenaline faded I juat sat down and cried for a while, I never want to go through that again.
What scary moments have you had to deal with as a parent?
