Hazel swam tonight!

After dinner Sean took the kids to the pool to wear them out and give me a bit of peace for Playcentre work. Hazel put her new goggles on and determinedly threw herself into learning to swim. She spluttered, gasped, choked and gagged but kept on working and came home triumphantly aquatic. She's managed to reliably get herself through the water without touching the bottom! What a brilliant tenacious mer-child!

Sean was at work and I was there when Hazel learnt to walk (straight towards a full-length mirror basking in self-love the whole way), it's only fair that he was there and I wasn't for this.
