We were off to lunch today after the big sister sat through a multi-hour braiding session- i was impressed with her patience as I at no point in my life would've sat through that. She was definitely tired, hot and hungry when she was done so lunch was sounding good. She was feeling all of herself as we walked into the restaurant - swinging her hair to and fro - she was into it. Our table was on the other side of a lily pond that runs through the restaurant. This is one of the things I love most about 'less developed' countries and their lack of lawsuits- there are often open bodies of water in places like restaurants. The 3 yr old navigated the stepping stones first and the older one behind. When the little one stopped abruptly, it had the bigger one stepping back only she missed her step and SPLAT! Head landed right onto a lilypad and she went all the way under! Daddy fished her out and the bar staff came running with towels. So much for that swing in her step.
