Sofia woke me up at about 6.15am so I grabbed her. We watched a few clips in bed – just getting amazing cuddles. Then we had brekky together. Afterwards Mike got up and took Sofia with him shopping for a few things. I stayed home and tidied up and cleaned a bit. When they got back I cuddled with Sofia and read a few books. Then she had some food before her nap.
Whilst she was sleeping Mike and I had a swim in the pool. Sofia only slept for an hour. Mike went in, she hadn’t filled her nappy so left and hoped she’d fall asleep again. She tried, but couldn’t and when I went in to get her she’d filled her nappy poor girl. I changed her and left her to try to sleep again, and she really tried but couldn’t so I went back in and got her poor girl.
When Sofia woke up we went for a short walk with the dog. It was not the best weather – it was drizzling. When we got back Mike got food ready (tapas) for Kaylene, Will and Andrew coming over. It was really nice to see them. Andrew and Sofia played, and there was a couple of altercations but nothing bad. I was quite happy that Sofia shared as nice as she did. Twice she wanted what Andrew had taken to play with and I just explained that now Andrew had taken it to play with, that she can share and that she can play with something else. And she did :).
When they had headed home we all (except Pablo) had a dip in the pool. Sofia wasn’t very courageous and was clinging on, but she loosened up as soon as I started going under with her. She could not stop laughing when she looked at me afterwards and wanted more. So we repeated quite a few times. When we got out I took her straight into the shower with me – and she loves it! She just sits down straight underneath and stays there – arms up towards the stream of water… Once we were out of the shower I gave her some more food and then Mike and I read to her before putting her to bed.

It’s so great that Sofia learns to swim and has no fear of water – there are quite a number of children every year who drown in pools, ……..-:)
