Just a little blog today. If K & M don't sleep well tonight then exercise has no bearing on how well children sleep! They had a second hour of gymnastics as well as the usual one and half hour swimming lesson. They're both really enjoying the gymnastics and making slow but steady progress with it.
We had an interesting conversation in the car on the way to swimming, whilst listening to The Famous Five, about the word 'awfully' and 'awful' which lead to a discussion about the etymology of words, their meanings and how they can shift over time.
Finally, while K & M do get on well a lot of the time, it's not exactly a rarity for them to argue or fight either. Something that they do both have is a very strong sense of fairness, which extends to sharing things (at least edible ones!) that they are given, which is lovely to see. Just a couple of recent examples, when we went down to London recently, while we were on the Eye M was offered a fondant fancy but wouldn't take it to start with as it was the last one and therefore K couldn't have one too, even though K was on the other side of the pod and was unaware of what was going on, in the end she did take it, but went and shared it with her sister. This evening after swimming K was given a single twix by a friend there and the first thing she said having caught up with M & me was 'Look what C's given me, M & I can have half each for pudding after tea'.
