Swimming and lollies

We went to the pool today with our friends and J, who is about Katies age.
They splashed around and jumped, with floaty rings on their arms. We had a really good time. No 'brown alerts' in the pool either, so that was a bit of a relief, especially since Dean had declared that if it happened, it wwas my turn to deal with it. Which was fair enough, I guess. But it was my lucky day. And everyone else's at the pool.

Since it is Saturday, we decided that she could have a tiny bit of lollies today. So we gave her some chocolate pastilles in a small bowl ("non-stops" there called). After eating them, she wanted more, but we said no. Then she goes out into the kitchen, gets a wee bowl, finds the lollies (by pushing a chair to the kitchen bench and moving a few things that they were hidden behind), and gives herself a refill.

We were quite impressed. Obviously we will have to hide them better next time.
