In a post on social media, Isobel\u2019s mother, Tamara Wallace, said the two-year-old had been full of \u201cadventure and fire\u201d and that she \u201clived more in her two years than some children did in a lifetime\u201d.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cAll of us are absolutely heartbroken. As you can imagine, this is the worst possible thing that could ever happen to parents, to lose their baby. She was so happy, so loved & they were the best parents who gave her the most wonderful life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maxwell said her daughter and Isobel had been playing with their new toys inside the house on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cWe couldn\u2019t find her for a moment & in that moment, she\u2019s gone in the garden & and fell in the pond.<\/p>\n
\u201cA pond that was not there through choice but due to a house move, their forever home which they were renovating. A pond that had a temporary fence around it, in a garden she would never have accessed by herself.
