Jacob nearly sent me into cardiac arrest today while we enjoyed a beautiful sunny day at the park. We had a picnic, Jacob rode his bike around, and Jeffrey was running like it was his first time outdoors (since Guitar Hero has been in our lives I won't admit that it just might have been). Jacob was on the swings, pumping his legs as hard as he could and getting higher and higher. Jeffrey was sliding sometimes head first(yikes) down the twisting slide, this, all While I watched closely. I was mainly keeping my eye on Jeffrey making sure he wasn't getting too close to the edge of the play set, reminding him to go "feet first" but trying to give him his space too. Suddenly out of the corner of my eye, I see Jacob dangling on the swing. Holding on for what appeared to be dear life. No longer sitting on the seat of the swing but rather hanging from the chains. As I ran as fast as my legs could carry me the ten feet or so that separated us, Jacob let go and dropped to the ground. With my heart now racing, I picked up Jake, dusted him off, and asked if he were "OK". The other mothers were now looking on probably thinking the same thing I was feeling inside. You know the "good god lady, keep a closer eye on your child". Then Jacob informed me that "I'm OK, I was just like Diego swinging from a vine". Thankfully he was just fine, and it was me that felt the need for a resuscitation.
