A scare at swim lessons

I take all four kids when the older two have swim lessons. The younger two are fascinated with water and are constantly getting into it. As you can see in the picture and videos there is only a couple feet between the pool and the bubble. Today K fell into the pool, fully dressed and couldn't get his face out of the water. Luckily we were able to get him out fast. I'm so glad Na and K are going to take lessons in April!

Here he is after we took off his wet shirt and toweled him off a little:


As I was comforting K, I decided since I had my camera out I'd take some video.

Here is Vin doing the backstroke:

Sorry it is blurry! The lens got steamed up.

Here is Ree trying the butterfly kick:

So glad you were there to yank him out. I hate scary moments like that. Very glad that all turned out.

I remember that happened to my Makenna when she was younger. Although she did have her swimsuit on. We were walking by the pool after we had gathered all of our belongings. I had baby Dakota and a huge beach bag full of stuff. I looked back and saw that Makenna had stepped right off the ledge into the pool. (She wasn't watching where we were walking.) I literally dumped everything and ran. When I got back to my stuff, I noticed that miraculously, Dakota had been perched perfectly on top of the beach bag, sitting as if she were in a chair. It all happened so fast, that I don't remember even dropping her. Scary stuff! BTW...where do your kids take lessons? I need to get my girls back in and the little ones started. Let me know.
