Keep on swimming

Day 6: Wednesday

Weather report: hot with one small shower in the morning and one large shower in the afternoon.

Feeling a little better today. Not quite so many drugs required!

We went on a shopping trip this morning. We have bought the boys some pool noodles and Igot some   fabric to make Plum a little something. The boys got some colouring books and daddy bought some books to read too and then we all lunched together before coming back to the apartment collecting C and GDS on the way back.

The afternoon saw us swimming in the pool again with more friends of friends joining us. Pumpkin was slightly hesitant about the swimming but found his confidence playing on the ledge with a variety of toys and inflatables that we had bought along with us. Plum really enjoyed the confidence in arm bands and let daddy take her for a swim, she would only cling to me however. We also had the fun of breast feeding in a swim suit again but we're getting the hang of it.

The girls returned to the apartment first and got in the showers quick. We were soon followed by the boys and Bean showered and put his head in today (nearly ready to hair wash?) tea was followed by a trip to the park as visitors were still present and the children were in need of the space. However, it did mean that the smalls we awake until late as it took them a while to calm down again.

The friends of friends are also home educators so it was interesting to compare lifestyles and educational input and requirements and reasons. Although we always say there are as many ways to home ed as there are home educating families, it is still interesting to see the cultural perspective too. We swapped contact details.

Planning a big day out tomorrow.
