swimming
This morning Aprilia insisted that I create a couple of posters for her outlining her morning and bedtime routines, these were to include brain work, tidy up time, getting dressed, having bedtime snacks…. not that she has stuck them on her wall yet you understand, I suspect just *having* a routine is enough, you don’t need to follow it from what I can see!
She has done much Brain Training and Brain Assist today but has neglected her Moshi monster so it will be grumpy with her tomorrow 
Then she demanded swimming. So we went! the new pool is very posh, being part of a "lifestyle centre" (that’s a sports complex with extra added bar from what I can tell) and she did very well, especially considering that we haven’t swum for ages, managing about 10 lengths of the pool in just over half an hour. We both enjoyed it enough to make us want to go regularly so I’m considering monthly tickets for us and looking at kick board etc for her.
After that she had her annual eye test. New glasses are on order as her prescription is slightly changed, I suspect because her eyes were tired from all the DS-ing in the morning rather than from any genuine deterioration but then, I suppose having your eyes checked when they are tired is probably a good idea as it will highlight weaknesses better?
This evening we have to go to Red Cross. Normally we try to alternate (or, if there is no specific course on, just don’t go…) but tonight we are learning how to do blood glucose which is a whole new thing for us. Typically, of course, having swum, both Aprilia and I are knackered and really not in the mood for this…. ho hum.
we are doing much swimming atm, and I have hopes that before too long I will also have a daughter who can swim lengths. Yellow cap lesson tomorrow

whereas, I have a daughter who can happily swim lengths, but with no recognisable style or stroke! Quite how she propels herself is a total mystery to me but she does, and it gets her suitably tired so it will do!
