Thursday morning while I was cleaning the bathroom, I all of the sudden heard a cry from Colton. Aubrey started screaming, "Mom, Colton is choking, Colton is choking..." Luckily I was close by and went in the family room where Colton and Aubrey were. Colton had been playing with the blinds and got the cord wrapped around his neck. I ran quickly over to him and luckily was able to get it off real fast.
Colton was okay, but he sure gave me a scare. I was so terrified! I started bawling and Colton and I cuddled for a long time. The rest of the day I had the mental picture of Colton stuck in my mind and that's all I could think about. I probably cried at least 3 or 4 times.
I am so grateful that Aubrey recognized that he needed help and that I was there to get him out of trouble quickly. I can't imagine losing that sweet little guy. He is so precious and we are so very lucky and so very blessed to have him.
I got thinking about how important it is to be there for my kids and family and spend as much time as I can with them. Life is full of unexpected situations that can change your whole world in the blink of an eye. I want to make sure I enjoy every moment I can with those I love. Time is precious and should be cherished.
