Wearing purple...

A two year old boy and a pond...

...what could possibly go wrong, I hear you say...
Well - I'll tell you the story, but first I'll just reassure you that no small boys were hurt or psychologically traumatized in the making of this blip ;)

...his dad and I out in the garden, admiring the hollyhocks and sunflowers ( see extra )... knock at the window, "concentrate, he's near the pond!". He won't go in on my watch, quoth dad...  I've got him, quoth I... took this blip and all was well ;)
Mum and grandma appeared and took over tadpole watching with said two year old... I'm braced to catch him quoth grandma... just as he decided to practice his Yoga in a downward dog position and disappeared into the pond head first, much like a diving duck... Mum and grandma instantly grabbed a limb each and yanked him back out again, and after a small yowl  equanimity was restored. Good job he enjoyed the slides when we stayed at Center Parcs!

Once he was out of his wet togs and snugly wrapped in a towel he giggled and pointed at the pond  "In..." he said. Don't think counselling is needed  ;)
First extra shows big brother helping him with his jigsaw - a much safer occupation... and much kinder all round on the nerves...
