Proud of your girls! I...What an amazing story. Proud of your girls! I've seen children go under right next to an adult who was trying to be attentive and watch several children at once. It happens so quickly and so easily. Having older children who are well-trained is a good way to avoid a disaster. We were once at a park with family when my 4yo daughter, without me seeing (someone else was supposed to be watching her at the time), started getting help from a strange man on the monkey bars. My 8yo son immediately walked up to him and asked him to please put his sister down as they were not allowed to talk to strangers, and then he brought her with him to come get me. We try as parents to keep our eyes on our children 100% of the time, but sometimes we fail, and training them to help themselves and each other is our crucial backup. Your video is not showing up here, but I'm sure your daughter did a wonderful job. Kudos! :)Noteable Scrapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624313351106215288noreply@blogger.com
