Other days

Some days are better than others...thankfully every day is a new day.
Suzy is about to do her first swimming exam. She is capable enough, just hoping she will concentrate at the right moments and listen to what she needs to do. (And not splash around as an overexcited puppy)
It will be in a different swimming pool in a different part of town. My parents are excited, DP wants to be there. My Aunt and Uncle have been taking her to swimming lessons the whole school year so they will be there. I'm thinking it is a bit much, but on the other hand I don't think Suzy will be more relaxed if I'm not there. So six adult for one six year old girl...

Last week we went to a gymnastics training (they were looking for new talent, Suzy is on the waiting list for regular training). I'm looking for a place where she can do her cartwheels, handstands and bridges without breaking her back or our house. Sadly the organisation had trouble with their emails/enrollments so they were expecting 4 girls and 20 showed up... Suzy had a good enough time on a real balance beam and seeing some of the tricks. She didn't seem to mind having to wait a fair bit, as most of the time at least someone was moving.
Only after I had organised all this, DP suddenly said, "hey, I think I did gymnastics as a kid" And all this time I had been wondering about our donor and the unknown DNA!!!
