Ted has been taught how to swim, find the stairs, and has a life vest; yet I had a gate built due to the sad stories I read. With summer coming up we all need to never, ever take for granted that our wee ones can swim. They're not safe unless we're there with them. Take extra precautions this Summer and have fun. xo |
Great advice and sooooo true! I never ever let my boys out when I am not out with them, even if the kids are out with them. You just never know! The kids are good though, they immediately grab their life vests when they go out with them and put them on them. There are pics in my album of my boys in the pool! They are too funny!
