We've got a mermaid!

This week my jamdaughter had a couple of new experiences.

Firstly she went to her first swimming lesson and loved it. I new she would as she loves her baths. As my dad says she bathes like a duck - everyone needs goggles! Even though she is only 5 months old it is important that she is 'water proofed' as her other grandparents live close to a river and my daughter and son-in-law love to spend time at the beach. We all know how quickly toddlers move when determined! I wanted to do this with my babies but having twins first meant that we had to wait until they could go to group swimming lessons.

My daughter is heading back to work part time soon so our baby had a trial run at child care. For a monkey who doesn't want her Jamma to settle her to sleep, she settled and slept at child care [not bad seeing it was unfamiliar to her]. Being an egocentric optimist I'll claim she loves me too much to sleep in my presence! My daughter stayed with her at child care - I just hope she'll settle for the workers when they have to do it. This baby is very sociable so I think she'll find child care stimulating and not overwhelming.

I had thought I could look after our baby but with embarking on a new business I can't guarantee specific days which is what they'll need.
