Another reason why parents really needs to watch their kids around swimming pools .....
The boys (2 y.o. and 1 y.o.) were playing outside yesterday after noon. We have a fully fenced yard with a locked gate so the kids are able to play in the yard. We also have a pool in the back yard that has a seperate 5' vinyl fence with a "self latching" gate around it. I (mom) was outside picking up the toys, went in the house to put something away and with in 2 minutes I heard the 2 y.o yelling "help mommy help". I ran outside to see what was going on and the 1 y.o had pulled hard enough on the pool gate to get it open, had climbed up the pool ladder, had his chin and arms in the pool. The 2 y.o. saw him and ran over grabbed onto his legs so he could not fall in all the way and held him until I got him. Thank god nathan was there because gods knows what could have happened to his brother.
None the less, the fence guy was here this morning to adjust the gate properly, and we are going to be getting a serperate clip so this cannot happen again!!

WOW! Glad to hear this turned out the way it did!
Hey Nick. Scary story. Good thing you were close buy. You going to be in Havi this coming weekend?
Wow. Nice to hear of a happy ending. Thankfully the 2 year old was there or the ending to this could have been way different.
Nate is a hero!
Maybe the job in his future is a life saver.
quick thinking kid, its great to see him looking out for his little brother like that and knowing what to do. take him to toys-r-us.
Man you have to remember your blessings in a case like this huh? My heart dropped reading that. Glad everything worked out the way it did for you guys.
Thanks for everyone's kind words. Just FYI I was at work and got this phone call so my heart about jumped out of my chest too. The wife is going to have to get her own screen name to clear up any of these misunderstandings.
Nate (2 yr old), my newest hero is going to get a big DQ treat when daddy gets home tomorrow.
