Yeah thelostone that also happened to a friend of ours, had to get his nail ... well a hole burned in it by a Dr. to prevent him from losing the nail. People think I'm a worry wart. I never wanted to be offensive, but I didn't trust many people to take my children anywhere.

During a family reunion one of the older cousins was bringing everyone swimming. My twins thought that they could breathe under water, you had to be right on top of them while they were swimming. My uncle was very offended that I wouldn't let my kids go unless hubby or I went with them.

My parents were good, they got right in the water with them, I remember one summer when I found out at work that my mother-in-law brought them swimming. I was worried all day!

It only takes a second for something tragic to happen. I did everything in my power to prevent these things from happening.

My brother wanted to buy the twins a minibike when they were about 9. No way! He pointed out that he was allowed to do those things when he was a child. I replied "why do you think I'm so paranoid?!? Even if mom and dad didn't know what you were doing I DID!" That boy (now a man) definately has a guardian angel.
