The day just seemed to go on and on today. The 2 boys, daddy and I spent the morning at home before swimming lessons. The boys ran around chasing each other while letting blown up balloons go at each other so they would whizz past their heads. Then of course the boys end up nude. A large portion of their day is spent with me trying to put pants back on the kids. They are just not interested. I still don't know what goes through their mind that makes them suddenly need to take all their clothes off and run and shriek at each other. It's truly fascinating.
It felt like we all did so much before we all headed off to swimming lessons. It was a very hot day today so the pool was the perfect place to be. Daddy got in with Bailey for his lesson while I walked Brandon over to his class. There is a really troublesome boy in Brandon's class so I'm hoping that he moves on to another class soon. I get very nervous when Brandon happens to be in the pool next to this big boy. He jumps into the pool all the time and holds on to other kids too while he does it. I think he might be in a different class next week. I hope so. He is way too distracting to the other kids and the teacher.
Brandon swam so far today. His teacher actually pushed him out of his boundaries a little this week which was great. Bailey is doing really well too. He is so strong and confident and listens really well and loves swimming with daddy.
Once the lessons finished I dressed both boys, which strangely enough takes almost just as long as the swimming lesson. The 2 boys had morning tea at the pool. Actually Brandon had morning tea, Bailey just threw ALL his food all over the pool ground. No chance it was coming back. The 2 boys are so fiercely independent. They must do everything for themselves. They must be able to choose the food they eat and quite commonly what they wear. It amazes me to think that if they are this fiercely determined now, imagine what they will be like when they are older.
When we got home, as no-one was sleeping and daddy and I were exhausted, we just stayed at home. We de-cluttered several rooms which is an exhilarating feeling. Certainly a better energy flow. We washed and folded and made beds and vacuumed and aired out things. You name it we did it. Of course we always had the 2 little boys there to undo what we had just cleaned, but eventually it all worked out well.
Daddy took the 2 boys outside for a play while I read through the inch thick paper work for Brandon's kindergarten. We have an interview there tomorrow to meet his teacher, and for daddy to see the centre. It will be great for Brandon to go there again to reintegrate the realty of next year for him. I know he'll have a great time. He makes friends very easily and is not a shy boy at all. Good on him. Hopefully he'll eventually let someone else have a go talking. He is so very animated with a very distinct personality. A real treasure.
The boys ate huge amounts of dinner which is always advisable for them, and I kept serving up fruit salad and yoghurt for dessert. Brandon is reading quite well and is learning all about letters and numbers and all sort of great things. He loves his books. We might try and get him another bookshelf tomorrow because he has so many book they are falling onto the ground. Bailey loves his books too. He also loves drawing. He actually manages to stay a little bit stiller and just a bit longer than Brandon so the concept of him drawing is perfect for him.
They boys have just gone to sleep so now we need to find work clothes, continue filling out forms, have dinner, clean the kitchen, move all toys that seem to mysteriously get stuffed into our bed, and then fall into bed ourselves. Goodnight.
