Our Pool Is Open

The pool was ready to swim in on Tuesday and the kids have been in it everyday since. We sure love our pool, but in less than a weeks time we have had a near drowning and a call to poison control. In regards to the near drowning it was more of a scare. Trace had his life vest on, his head was above water the whole time, and we were right there. He was just panicking because his feet couldn't touch the ground. It gave him a good scare, so hopefully he will be more careful in the future. In addition, he decided to take a bite out of an old chlorine tablet resulting in a call to poison control. Thankfully, he spit it out right away and we were able to rinse his mouth thoroughly so no damage was done. I guess those are both reminders of the blessings and curses of having a pool. Hopefully the rest of the summer is full of blessings...
