'I should have known something was off when I noticed her standing in the same spot for a few minutes.'
I obsess over every potentially disastrous social situation, but I never saw this one coming.It started out like any other birthday party she’s attended, with my five-year-old daughter sprinting ahead of me, screaming excited greetings to both friends and strangers. I watched her spring into the pool, catapulting herself over friends gathered on the steps.
I had already given her the ten-minute warning. Things were winding down and the party was almost over, but she was never going to want to leave. Some of the other girls were still in puddle-jumpers, a little uneasy in the pool, but my little swim enthusiast was cannonballing, deep diving, swimming in and out of other parent’s legs and hanging on their arms, wanting to play. If there’s two things that she is extremely confident doing, it’s swimming and socializing. This was her Super Bowl.
When I got home my daughter was in the kitchen, hands over her face, crying. I cleaned her up and talked about how accidents happen all the time to everyone, and that it’s okay. We chatted about what to do after making a mistake — and about the necessity of taking breaks from things that are fun for really important things like going to the bathroom. We talked about feeling embarrassed and how to work through that feeling alone and with friends.
