Some photos from the action this afternoon:
Ewww Get her away from me!! - Admittedly this is just an unfortunate shot on Sam’s part… they were actually having a good time, now that Sam’s over his Post Traumatic Stress of Sarah actually sitting on him while Sam-Sitting for all those months.
See? This is how it’s done! – Sarah giving Sammy come climbing pointers – in matching cloth butts!
I think Sarah’s getting waterlogged. Including her lessons I think this is her 4th swim this week? And she been loving every minute of it! Today’s swim was at Gould Adams Park with Auntie Cole and Grandpa.
Sarah’s hair is starting to get in her eyes during her lessons so today we trialled Auntie Cole’s swimming cap to see what Sarah thought about it – given what we all know about what Sarah thinks of hats! Hats no, hoods yes – go figure. Anyhow, she didn’t seem to mind it on there at all and wore it all afternoon!
With her newly acquired status as a Squid seems to have come a real ‘dare devil’ streak… she either has absolutely no fear of the water or and absolute faith that Nic or I will catch her whenever she leaps into the water – whether we are actually in the pool or not!! Today she was playing on the steps into the hydrotherapy pool when she suddenly took off towards the big lap pool. Auntie Cole leaped out of the water and ran after her – and just managed to dive in surface before Sarah jumped in fearlessly.
We discovered later too that the baby gate to the spa section of the wading pool was also almost no obstacle for our little terror… She managed to wriggle up high enough to get her tummy over the top bar. It was only that it was a little slippery that she lost her grip and came back down on the shallow side. You can’t take your eyes off her for a second!!
Sarah graduated to the next swimming class at her lesson yesterday. Our little girl is now a squid! I think I was probably more excited about it than she was… We’ve decided we’d like to stay with the same teacher so her lessons are going to be a bit later on a Saturday morning now.
The 15th of October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. I’ve posted some information about the day on my site if you’d like to know some more.
