After the exertions of last week, this week has been a lot more chilled.
On Sunday, following a successful bike ride on Saturday I decided to head to a local former railway line to get some more practice in, however, the ground although flat was slightly harder to ride on and although Isaac was off and pedaling into the distance, Eliza really struggled and I had to push her more than she pedaled. The outing then ended with Sebby falling face first into a huge muddy puddle as I help Eliza down a hill on her bike – note to self, always take another adult with you to help!
Thankfully we were five minutes from home, so I phoned Kian to run the bath, bundled everyone back into the car and set of home.
On Tuesday I started a new job – working part-time at the local pre-school and even though it is still working with children it was lovely working with other adults too.
On Wednesday it was swimming lesson time and after a bout of the water wobbles last year, Eliza has been working on her water confidence. She finally achieved her target of swimming a length on her back!
Here is my week in pictures:
31. Cycling on an old railway in Broadstone
32. Peek-a-boo
33. Looking very grown-up with her hair in a bun
34. Eliza completing a whole length on her back
35. Our Teksta Dinosaur likes eating cars apparently
36. Playing with the keyboard in the O2 shop whilst trying to get my phone fixed
37. I’m Arf Asleep and here’s the news
Well done to Eliza for swimming her length! Sorry to hear about the slightly disastrous cycling trip. My daughter fell flat on her face in puddles and mud yesterday – it was literally right outside the front door, but it was still hard work getting her sorted out!
Congratulations on the new job! Have you given up childminding?
I can just imagine the bike ride we have had a number with H when there has been more pushing than pedalling, but with other kids to deal with as well it must have been difficult. Well done to Eliza on the swimming.
Fab photos!
It sounds like you had an eventful bike ride….Eek!
I hope the new job is going well x
well done to Eliza on her swimming and to you on your job. Debby looks son adorable wearing those comedy glasses. What a nightmare with the bike and muddy puddle incident! Good job you were not too far from home x
i mean Sebby!!! x
Looks like you had an active week. Sods law about the mud on a bike ride – hopefully we’ll get out on a couple over half term.
I hope your new job is going well. That does sound like a bit of disastrous cycle trip but that photo makes it look idyllic!
