Scary!

The backyard is pretty small and most of it is taken up by the rectangular swimming pool. Around the pool are what Hana calls "Tap taps". These are small man hole covers which her Grandma taught her to tap her foot on. She makes me so nervous whenever she's walking around the pool.

The handyman came and installed her swing so she now has the swing and a play slide to enjoy in the backyard.

It was around 5:30 and I had just finished my day with Hana. She was in the backyard with Angie and I was in my casita. I went to make a phone call and on the fourth ring I looked out the window and Hana was in the pool! She had fallen in! 

I rushed out the door as her mom scooped her out. I asked if she hit her head and she said no. I rushed inside the house and got her a towel. As we were toweling her off, Hana had already calmed down and I could see from her hair that she had not gone completely under. She had a scrape on her leg. I told Angie to wash the area and put Neosporin on it (I looked it up). Hana and Angie calmed down by pushing Hana on the swing. 

I went back to my casita and started hyperventilating. I have nightmares about Hana drowning and she came too close to it today! We just have to get a safety fence or cover for the pool no matter what!
