The other day while at Lake Cochituate with our playgroup, HD went out a little too far and went under the water. I wasn't far away from her, but had turned my attention to E-man and failed to see that she was so far out. Luckily my visiting teaching companion (thanks Tanya!) ran after her and pulled her out of the water right after she fell under. And our friend Doyle did his best to hold her up - in telling the story later HD said, "Doyle saved my life."
Well, last night at dinner the lake incident came up again. The conversation went like this:
Me: What happened at the lake the other day?
HD: I went under the water.
Dad: Why did you go under the water?
HD: Because Mom wasn't there.
Ouch. No "Mother of the Year" award in our house!

no Mother of the year, just Doyle of the year! Woohoo! Remind her often of this story, and they will meet in 17 years and be in love!
