Katya amazed us yesterday when we went swimming. We went with her beloved Callum and Tiegan and it was like we weren't even there. She had her arm bands and she was off. Every other time we have gone she clings to us, but with those two swimming away she had to be 'like Tiegan'! She was floating on her back, her tummy, kicking her legs to move around, jumping in the pool like a maniac, doing belly flops, it was incredible. She is a real fish and her brother is close behind. Oliver kept trying to get away from whoever was holding him like a wind-up bath toy. Splashing and jumping and kicking the whole time. Smiling and loving it!
That evening we had a barbeque with Matt and Trudy and the kids and followed it with chocolate dipped ice creams for dessert. Katya was sooooo tired and her eyes were so red from a ridiculously long and active day, but still she managed to almost polished off an entire one herself. Isn't she 'sweet'.
We are mourning the end of our summer holidays, but have to report that they have been fabulous and we treasure the constant contact with the munchkins as the maddness of real life settles in over the next few weeks.
