A busy last couple of days but productive also, aside from sorting through all the kids toys I managed to get some time outside with the kids which I always enjoy, but never get the chance to do often enough. For Christmas the twins got a water table, which they just adore and keeps them amused for ages. I love it as they are not all that comfortable with water and this helps to show Scarlett that it can be quite fun stuff! She's very much like Abbey and gets terribly upset when her face gets wet but I am trying quite hard to eliminate that fear with her as even with Abbey being 7 years old we still struggle with her attitude to water as well.


I'm hoping that we will be able to start the twins with swimming lessons in the next 6 months or so. They've been down to the pool a few times and watched Abbey with great interest. I think Joe will be fine, he's pretty adaptable to most things but Scarlett has quite a fiesty streak in her and if she doesn't want to do something just throws a massive tantrum. the first time she came to the pool to watch one of Ab's lessons she walked in the door, caught sight of the pools and burst into tears! Luckily that didn't last long and she has been fine ever since!


Joe is mad about water, though not in a shower. he gets great delight in water fights and being soaked to the skin with his clothes dripping wet. He's such a boy!
