Just Me and My Girl..
Sometimes, with three children, I find it really difficult to please and concentrate on everybody... especially every day throughout the summer hols. So we called a meeting and decided that it would be good to have a 'Mama' day each... where each of them chose what they would really like to do, and then had a day out on their own with Mama doing just that.
It was Lauren's turn first, since it was her idea in the first place. We kicked off by going swimming, so she could show me exactly how much she had improved since swimming at school.
Then we went to China Blue in Totnes to paint some pottery for each other and talk, just the two of us. It was blissful to be able to concentrate on and listen to one conversation only! Most days they drown each other out with their constant bubble of conversation.
and then we headed to the beach to rest for the afternoon, to read some of her books, have ice-cream and watch the Regatta at Shaldon, which is now going on for the rest of the week... weather permitting :0
We watched the row boats set off on a race round the coastline to Maidencombe and back, and wished we could hop on a boat and join in!
So nice just to be in Lolly's world for the day...
I wouldn't miss it for anything x
