The kids went to swimming lessons this afternoon. Bon's first since D got cancer, & Eric's first ever. I was so proud of them both! One of the teachers commented on Bonnie's lovely long swimming arms...she's been telling me all night that she thinks she could be a great swimmer. Talk about blossoming under praise!
We found some swimming on TV after tea & she asked me if I'd come & cheer for her if she became an Olympic swimmer. (I'd be there with a heart about to burst with pride waving banners & jumping around the stand going beserk!!??)
Then she said "Even if I came last Mum, you'd still be proud wouldn't you?!"
Absolutely my precious little girl! (She's up for another Merit Award this week too...sweetheart!)
I thought Eric would jump in before the teacher could hold him & drown he was so super keen.
He is brave - & they are lovely kids.
Poor Eric was shopping with me yesterday & decided he'd like to sit in a Wiggles car while I got some cash out of a teller machine. Next thing a girl came up to him & was screaming in his face "GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!" My jaw dropped open & I looked for the mum who mumbled a mild "Don't say that pet." Eric was so gracious. He looked to me for the OK to keep sitting there so I gave him a wink & said "You can stay there if you'd like" but after a few minutes of being screeched at he sweetly said "You can have a turn now" & hopped out. There are so pretty wild children out there, & some pretty wild parents...
Feeling very proud of the kids tonight. They really help me keep putting one foot in front of the other sometimes...
Off to do some reading with a cuppa I think...zzzzzz...

You do have lovely children Lissy. I'd be proud of them too. I love how Eric treated the child over the car. Just hilarious. Wimpy parents drive me insane.
