Swings and swims





Thursday 5th March 2009

I have finally got over my upset tummy and have ventured further afield this week. I had a brilliant time at swimming and really enjoyed myself, kept wanting more swims and was more than happy to be passed over to Dave. We also made it to the East Coast meet up this week, for the first time and made some new friends which was nice - including some boys - there seems to be far more girls in Singapore than boys!!

Mummy managed to trick me into standing up on my own this week - I managed about 8 seconds before i realised and panicked!! I am getting more and more confident though and spend most of the day on my feet, holding onto something or someone! I am also happy moving around on my own with my walker now and use that to get me to more places.

As well as my rice and pasta dishes, mummy made me some fishcakes this week, which i gobbled down they were lovely!!

It has been very wet here for the last few weeks and between the very hot sunshine and the rain we have not been able to go swimming in the pool, however we made it out today and i got to test drive my new float (aka Eleanor's surfboard), which was fab. I also enjoy walking up and down the steps of the swimming pool and splashing mummy.

Finally, I went on my first swing this week. The condo swings are sideways ones, but I met a friend Josh who showed me how to use them, I was a little bit scared and holding on, but Josh's mum said he was the same at the beginning, so with a bit more practice I am sure i will get the hang of it. I will try and post a picture at some point.

Anyway, must dash, got naps and things to get done,

take care and "speak" soon
