Please pray for Vivi- she is three years old and in a coma after falling in a pool......and being without a pulse for 30 minutes.
Jennifer, I have held off posting about this because this happened in my own family to my little brother. All it takes is looking away for a few seconds and not seeing the little one falling in. That's all it takes. It can happen to the best, most vigilant families. I don't think there's a parent alive today that hasn't looked away for a few seconds, thank goodness most of us don't have tragedy happen in that timeframe.
When I read about Vivi's accident I started to shake (I pulled my dead brother out of the pool, he was revived by my father who saw me do it -- I was 11.) My dad had been a lifeguard and knew what to do. Praise God that we had a good outcome in that my brother is now in his early 30's and has a young son. My brother has major hearing loss from the accident as well as a chemical imbalance in his brain. I found out tonight that he is back in the hospital having just had another calcium infusion. It's not been an easy life for my brother but we still have him here and that means a lot to us.
I'm really sorry that Vivi's family didn't get their miracle. I was so hoping to hear that she was conscious and doing great. This brings me great personal sadness, and I will join the praying throngs.
God bless you, little Vivi. Thanks for your life here and how much you must have meant to all those who knew you and loved you. Rest safely with Jesus, little one.
Jeanie

That is so sad
We have been spending a lot of time at the pool and now I am scared to go. Ella always wears a life vest and we have our hands on the baby at all times, but I would feel better if we could find a life vest for him too. Just in case something happened...Have y'all ever seen any little ones? The one we have for Ella is for 35-40 lbs.

Jennifer - what a tragedy. I'm so sorry to hear this and so sorry for her family.
It's a reminder of how vigilant we have to be. I always worry, now that Akeelah has been in swimming lessons for a while, what she would do if she was around water without me right there. She gets in the pool all by herself and jumps in by herself now, but I'm always there. I'm worried how safe she feels around water without understanding that mummy always has to be there.
Laura - how old is the baby? When I take Akeelah to her swimming lessons they have put her in life jackets before, so I'm sure there are smaller ones for babies.

They sell bathing suits(literally a suit) that have built in flotation. Like THESE.

That is so sad. I am praying for her dear family. With my kids and our pool, the scariest times are when there is a crowd over. It is hard to keep your eye on everybody when people are constantly moving around; and sometimes people always think somebody else is watching the kids. For my little girl who could not swim but yet had no fear of the water, I bought her the Speedo bathing suits (off of ebay) that have the inflatable cushions in the front and the back. They are not as bulky as the foam ones (that they sell at Walmart). With the foam ones she couldn't play on the swings or in the backyard, but because these ones are slimmer - she keeps it on whenever she is in the backyard. I don't know how small they make them, though.

We use the "Ryanne Version" of Babylegs. I got some knee high socks from Target and cuffed them in knit. They work wonderfully!

Those Baby Legs look cool. Looks like you can make your summer clothes last longer, like a little girl can wear them with a skirt. We don't buy Timmy long sleeved shirts anymore. We get him all short sleeved, and then in the winter he wears a cheap long sleeved thermal shirt underneath.

how do you cuff in knit?
explain process please
Oh, I bought some jersey knit/interlock knit and made cuffs for them. It's the same type of fabric that like the cuffs on a long sleeve t-shirt are made from. They are super handy with cloth diapers, makes changes much easier.
