Washed Out to Sea

Don't panic, it wasn't a whom but a what!  Chandler's beloved life jacket, the one he brought with him from the States, the one he won't go in the water without, met a tragic end today.  He was splashing in the shallows up by the split, so he took off his life jacket and carefully put his shirt and ball on it and set it up on the concrete wall that separates the shallow from the deep.  Somehow it got knocked off into the deep and the current started to carry it away.  Trey, being a good brother made a desperate rescue attempt, but the current was stronger than he was.  We bid a sad farewell to our faithful friend and constant companion.  Our little man is going to have to conquer his fear of the water now and learn how to swim.  Mommy may need some Valium because in all honesty I think that life jacket eased my fears every bit as much as it did his...
