Kaylia's 7th Birthday
We started the day with presents in bed .... followed by hot shower and yummy breakfast! All a girls favourites! Then it was off to the swimming pool .... and therein lies a tale!
For a long time Kaylia (she who swims like a fish) has been swimming to the deep end and casting longing gazes at the kids on the diving board (.... the swims are closely supervised of course.) Today the pool had few swimmers so Naomi decided to give Kaylia some lessons ... she was carefully instructed in the rules for the diving board and then sent for her first solo! Success! It was followed by 6 further solo flights! Now I'm not sure whether she now has her wings .... but she must be very close.
For those who haven't seen her, Kaylia's swimming technique is very similar to that of dolphins & whales .... she has the whole of body movement and she dives deep, swims as long as she can and then comes up for air. She spends much more time underwater than on the surface.
It's now afternoon and Kaylia is enjoying her post swimming pool "hot bubble bath" .... this is a regular event! Naomi has gone to the hospital to spent some time with her mother .... no news on that front ..... so in a way, it's good news.
