We had a fun time at Mea's birthday party yesterday. Ponies, swimming in the pool, playing on the swings...when Kaitlyn fell off the swing and needed a cuddle.
Me (holding and rocking her): It's okay. You are okay.
Kaitlyn (crying): But I can't breathe!
Me: You can't breathe? Did you fall on your back? Or did you fall on your tummy?
Kaitlyn: I fell on my head, but I couldn't breathe...
Me: You are having trouble breathing now? Or you had trouble catching your breath when you fell?
Kaitlyn (still crying, but getting frustrated with me): NO! I couldn't breathe when I got my face in the water!
Me (thinking: in the pool...15 minutes ago!): You couldn't breathe in the water. (rocking her again) It'll be okay. You are okay.
