Well, D and I went to the pool and she was amazing. Her confidence is soaring and she is getting pretty good at swimming underwater. She's really getting bold and brave and is no longer afraid of the water. We worked on diving in to gain distance today and she was so competitive w/ herself and it was neat to see her pushing herself to her limits today w/out fear. The pool was a good trip.
We then went to sushi where she again ate a ton, then we came home, folded laundry - she was the "laundry inspector" who would put things in piles and throw them back at me if they weren't folded correctly. Needless to say, we had fun, but this took a bit longer than normal.
W called while we were at dinner and got miffed that D wasn't at the table b/c she was in back w/ the staff making our desserts. They love her at that place, but W was ticked she was not w/ me. Oh, well. D had fun and I know W criticizes everything I do anyway, so I might as well let her have the experience. Besides, how many of us get to go into the kitchen of a restaurant and make our own desserts? Why would I not give her this chance?
She got clingy and scared as she said she was afraid of "bad guys" so we discussed her fears and talked about what she should do if one of the "bad guys" she's afraid of (a "child stealer") tries to take her. She soaked it up and we'll revisit it plenty more times so she'll be comfortable w/ what to do if she is in that situation (God forbid).
She's crashed in my bed now, so I thought I'd catch up w/ everyone before turning in myself. We have a big day of ice skating and picking up our pottery before I "release her" back to W.
Sleep well everyone - or "good morning" to my friends across the Pond.
