I dropped Ellis and then Leo off at school and went straight home to put Oscar to bed. I pottered about a bit and the clock soon ticked round to 2:10pm.
I made the bad decision to walk and pick Leo up. It has been raining a lot recently but I thought there may be a bit of a gap and it would be nice for Oscar to get some air, and me some exercise. I made it there okay but then I hung around chatting for too long and it was starting to rain as we left. It then just chucked it down and I was soaked, Leo was soaked and Oscar was snuggly in the buggy. Leo was tired so I had to carry him and Oscar dropped one of his shoes on the way, so I had to go back to pick it up. Not great.
Ellis' swimming lesson went well. I had to take all 3 again which is a bit chaotic but Leo played nicely on the iPad and Oscar had some nibbles in the buggy. I could see Ellis was doing well but he just needs a confidence boost really.
So, today, Ellis went for his first private swimming lesson.
I had a lie in first thing, but it's so noisy in this house that I just can't sleep properly. Since Rob bought the surround sound system too the bass just vibrates through the bed and into my ears!
Rob went back to bed as I got up, so I did lunch for the boys and got him back up when I needed to leave for Ellis' lesson.
As I was getting everything ready Leo wanted cuddles so Rob picked him up and we squished him together. It was nice, but then we started messing around giving him lots of kisses and I received an unfortunate blow to my mouth. I knew I was hurt straight away and it immediately bruised and bled a little.
Harriett, the teacher, was running a bit late which was fine as Ellis needed the toilet. Once ready he was taken into the baby pool, which was filled with families enjoying a swim. I was a bit surprised by that but it worked okay and Harriett was very focused on him. He did SO well! I was so proud of him. He put his whole head under the water to pick some stuff up, jumped in, swam a bit on his front, and swam 5 metres on his back and got a certificate and badge! As an extra treat I bought him a chocolate doughnut and diet coke.
The afternoon was taken up with the usual things of face painting, Xbox, Ipad, pushing cars, watching TV, Guess Who and play fighting.

No bath tonight but as I was trying to take Leo off the toilet, he decided to jump up and head butt me again, but this time right on my cheek bone under my right eye. Oh it hurt and I had to leave the room. I put a cold press on it and you can't really see in this picture, but it was swollen and red for a while. Maybe I'll have a black eye to match my fat lip tomorrow.
