This week Lara had her first swimming lesson. The instructor commented that she was so excited by the realisation that, not only did she float, but by paddling she could actually move, that she was a little reluctant to return to the side of the pool to receive instructions!
A bee also stung Lara, who was curious and wanted to pick it up. We also had family visits to both the dentist and the cinema, which were fun. Lara was in her element with unlimited access to her bag of chocolate stars, generously sharing them, even when not requested. Owen was a little harder to prise from his toffee popcorn. He also found the prospect of seeing Buzz Lightyear melt down in a fiery furnace a little disturbing :S
Owen returned from the cinema and asked for his tool bag (from G.Aunt Jo & Fam). I don't know where the idea came from, but he had a plan and was on a highly focused mission. He drew some pencil lines on some wood and told me where he wanted me to saw them, and before I new it, he had designed and built a bird table!!
This evening he walked into the room after brushing his teeth and declared "I've put my brain behind the radiator in the bathroom because it's too stupid and I've put it there to grow". Er ... OK. LOL.

HAHAHA!!! Oh my gosh, that is hilarious! Where did he get the idea (first of all) that his brain was too stupid to grow, and (second of all) that "putting" it behind the radiator would cause it to grow??? Oh man, so priceless.
Thanks for sharing the recent adventures! And for the ultrasound. Baby looks good!
That remark is going to stay with me for a while. Andrew and I had a good laugh over it. Thanks, Owen and Jon.
