School Swimming Gala

On Friday last week Joshua competed in an inter school swimming gala against 4 others schools and was presenting the year 3 boys. Joshua was picked for the freestyle race and as part of the team relay and he topped off a very good week by winning both his races. Furthermore the Abacus swimming team qualified for the district finals with their impressive times.
 
Holly's potty training has gone from strength to strength over the last week and Tina has really worked hard to get her dry. Through the daytime she now wears nickers instead of a nappy and asks for the toilet if she needs a wee or poo. She hardly even uses the potty and most of the time prefers to sit on the big toilet. She has done absolutely amazing and I don't remember it ever being this easy to toilet train the two boys.
 
Brandon has been learning about the royal family at school this term. So after making a Roman outfit for Joshua 2 weeks ago, this weekends task was to make a crown with Brandon. I think we did a really good job of this crown but Brandon was not really happy as he wanted it gold rather than silver.

Going back to Holly, she has really become attached to her bear which Auntie Nicky bought for her. It has to sleep in her cot with her and when she wakes up in the morning she gives it a big cuddle and then carries it in to our bedroom. She has called the teddy "big bear".
