Playing at the Mall & Swimming

Last weekend with Sofia not feeling well, and yesterday being a pretty mellow day, today we felt like we really wanted to get out of the house. Right at 10am when we leave for swim lessons they called - cancelled! So we headed to the mall to play in one of the indoor playgrounds they have. The mall was just opening so it was very quiet. Sofia once again tried to hug another little girl, she is just so lovable. But the other little girl shrieked and ran away. Then a second little girl had a sippy of juice and Sofia tried to take it :) This little girl was probably 4 and she screamed like Sofia stabbed her! Then later after Sofia was over it and had forgotten about the juice, this little girl came back over and shook the sippy in Sofia's face like "you can't have it" then ran away. I don't think Sofia got what she was doing, but I did, and so did her parents, who scolded her. I guess it's all part of learning life lessons - personal space ie some people don't like hugs, we can't have things that belongs to others, and some other kids are little brats :)

Then after naptime we went to swim with P&J at Patty's mom's house. The pool felt great and we did some of her swim class activities like Humpty Dumpty, Tick Tock, and swimming underwater. She still loves to drink the pool water instead of close her mouth! She actually jumped off the diving board - twice! OK not jumped, Nelson walked her to the edge and dropped her in while i caught her in the water. She seemed to really like it!

Another weekend flying by...
