Today we went swimming. It was fantastic fun. Almost had to drag her out after and hour and 15 minutes. She went on the big slide about 45 times. I am still surprised, she'll go on it at all, if I'm honest I don't think I would! Even though she doesn't like getting water on her face in the bath, she doesn't seem at all bothered by it at the swimming pool. Which is good. She can also climb out of the pool by herself.
It was great fun. She was fascinated by the other little children, particularly girls of the same age in the pool. Peer pressure is a wonderful thing. Things that she wouldn't do first, she's see them do it and instantly want to copy.
We did however have a big bang, she was running and just as I was telling her to stop, she slipped backwards and went thud on the floor. My heart stopped and I felt sick. Thankfully she was OK, I think it was more of a shock. It also made her pay more attention to instructions.
The best thing about swimming is that she is totally knackered and needed a big sleep in the afternoon.
