“Adventures with Baby P,” she captioned the video that showed them venturing through the pool’s rock formations.

Paris, 43, held onto her son the entire time as he moved around the water while wearing swim shorts, a bucket hat, and floaties on each arm.

She wore a black netted outfit with a matching headband and sunglasses.

At the end of the clip, Paris lifted her son into the air, and the camera showed him wearing a lifejacket with a strap across his chest.

Many viewers pointed out in the video’s comments section that it seemed as if she may have put on the jacket backward.

“Hey momma just a tip from another puddle jumper mom i think it’s on backwards. But i love this video pure joy,” one person wrote.

Paris responded, “Oops! Thank you! I never let him out of my arms. thought it was backwards too, I said that to the person who I bought it from & they said it was on right. But thank you so much for letting me know.”

Others commented on the same thread with admiration for Paris’ kind response.

“I absolutely love how you listen and take other mom’s advice instead on getting pissed off!!! I’m a new fan of yours and you are a great mom!” someone said back.

Another critic wrote on the video, “Swimming teacher here, see if you can swap the puddle jumper for a float jacket. Gives him the use of his arms to aide his swim journey.”
