A couple of anecdotes
We joined a local pool and went for the first time this afternoon. Morgan toppled backward in the kiddie pool (in about 18 inches of water) and went underwater. I scooped her up quickly and gave her a big hug. I asked if she was okay (she was crying a bit) and she said “I drank water.”
When I was putting her to bed tonight I was telling her how ‘Mommy & Daddy love you very much.’ She asked for her dad, but he had gone to the grocery. So I said he wasn’t here right now. She started saying “Daddy…much. Daddy…much.” which I think was her way of saying she loves her dad very much.
