My little Polyotter.

Jamie had his second proper swimming lesson yesterday. We started last week and he really wasn't sure to begin with. I was a little apprehensive because we tried last year and he didn't engage with it at all. Then he had one of those inflatable rings with a built in seat. He would just sit there and bob about and take no notice of anything much.

But he loved it! His little face was a picture, he just lit up. He hung back to start with. But Vicky (the teacher) lifted him into the water and he was away. She has to keep hold of him and help him, but he giggled and sang the whole time.

This time we got him a Polyotter suit. It's like a regular swimming costume that we girlies wear, but with built in floats all around. So he can get into the water properly. And he has a different teacher this time, and only H instead of all the other Little Rays. So there are just the two of them with Vicky. And I haven't been going in with him this time, so he takes more notice of Vicky. And I get to watch him. He looks so cute! I'll try and get some pics next week.

The week will start with yet another hospital appointment. This one is with the ENT chap. Jamie had grommets put in in 07 and his GP thinks something might be going wrong with one of them, which is why his ear infection is hanging on so stubbornly. Saying this his left ear had stopped weeping now. Isn't that just the way!
