Busy Philipps Saved Her Four-Year-Old Child from a Scary Pool Incident

Busy Phillips spent her Fourth of July holiday weekend like many of us, enjoying some rest and relaxation with her friends and family while taking a break from work and her anxiety-busting exercise. But the star has just revealed that things went dangerously awry when her four-year-old daughter, Cricket, was swimming alone in the pool.

The 38-year-old mother of two posted a pic of herself to Instagram which immediately had her followers wondering why the heck she was in a pool full of water while fully dressed.

Her explanation not only cleared things up, but it also proved that when a dangerous situation pops up, she’s ready and willing to do what’s necessary to protect those she loves.

Just had to jump into my friends pool with my clothes on cause Cricket was on a pool float that was about to go over the edge of the infinity pool and there was no one to help her in the pool and that's just what you do, I guess. She's fine. So am I. But I'm pretty soaking wet. So there's that. HAPPY 4TH.

“Just had to jump into my friends pool with my clothes on,” Phillips shared, explaining, “cause Cricket was on a pool float that was about to go over the edge of the infinity pool and there was no one to help her in the pool…” Yikes!

The superhero-like mama added, “…that’s just what you do, I guess.” Indeed. *high five*

I was one of those people who told others with confidence we were "one and done". It was so hard for me to imagine having another kid for so many reasons, I thought for sure we wouldn't. But then when Birdie turned 4, everything changed for me. And then she started asking when her brother or sister was coming. So we decided to have another kid. I totally planned it around my Cougartown shooting schedule so that I wouldn't miss work and I even had a date where if I wasn't pregnant by that date, we wouldn't do it. But lo and behold, I got pregnant with this little person. And from the moment she was born, 4 years ago this morning, she has brought nothing but joy and light into our lives. And I'm so glad she proved me a liar with my one and done nonsense. Happy birthday to my little Cricket, our Don Crickles, my sweet sweet baby girl.

She continued her message by assuring fans that disaster was avoided and that everyone was totally okay. “She’s fine. So am I. But I’m pretty soaking wet. So there’s that. HAPPY 4TH.”

Thank goodness it *was* a happy Fourth and that both Busy and Cricket were able to keep enjoying the holiday… despite the scare and soggy clothes.
