Sportsday

Today, Penny and I spent the day at Nicholas' school watching him compete in sportsday. The morning was foggy when we woke up which is always a good sign that it's going to be a beautiful day and it was. We all breathed a sigh of relief after the constant rainy day on Monday. I think my arms even got a little sunburnt! Nicholas seems to be more suited to team sports as he found the sprints and relays quite challenging although was not last. He did a little shadow watching whilst running as he did last year although it was only for a fleeting moment today. This year, rather than just ball games which is quite difficult for the little ones, they had a station based group of sports - skipping; throwing foam rockets; tunnelball and unders and overs; and sack race and pillow race. The children seemed to enjoy this. It was a really big day for us all but very enjoyable. We had a good rest at home and then out to soccer training this evening. There was no resistance to the suggestion of bed time tonight.

I finished a LO last night - here it is.
