Last night it was bath night! And Amelia loves ALL THINGS BATH TIME!!!! She has become more and more interested in reaching for the faucet, flipping the latch to have the water go through the shower nozzle versus the faucet and also reaching for the suds (b/c those are sooo much fun!).
Over the last couple weeks, the thought has crossed my mind more than once that we need to start watching Amelia closer, because her ability to reach was just a little too good for her own good.
Back to last night.....Amelia had her baby's blanket and was reaching for the faucet, as usual, and was about to drop her blanket in the water, so I quick grabbed it, turned around, put the blanket on the bathroom counter. By the time I turned back around, I see Amelia reaching, reaching, (in slow motion) feet start to lift, head going down towards the water, mommy's eyes popping out of her head, jaw dropping...NNNOOOOO AAA-MEEEE-LIIIIIA. I grabbed her as fast as I could - luckily it was before she fully went in and before she hit her head on the bottom. But half of her head got dunked - face all sudsy and she had water up to both of her elbows. Her reaction, you may wonder?! Well, it was this.....whine/cry as if she just dropped to her rear when she didn't want to. I wiped her face off and that was it. Nothing more....no hysterical crying, no traumatized child, no fits when it was time to get in. In fact, she was practically jumping in as she was getting undressed.
So I'm thinking 3 things:
1) Thank you Lord for watching over her.
2) Swimming lessons are needed.
3) Watch her like a HAWK!
