While Bradley's upstairs on the big puter, his sister's downstairs. As they get better I need not run up and down stairs a million times. Just half a million currently.

Esme's school sports day

School Sports Day. Bit of a tough one this. Esme has never wanted to run. I guess, that's because she wanted to win, and knowing she was up against boys—specifically Charlie, she didn't want to compete in something she wasn't going to win.

But, when I got there, I could see from the other side of the track that she was weeping, while Charlie was giving her some earache about something.

I walked around from the parent's side and gave her a cuddle, and some 'never minds' and 'wos the matters.' But to no avail.

Her teacher came up and said, that she didn't have to run if she didn't want to, the headmaster also did the same.

I'm quite sure that they put her under pressure to run, when she wouldn't comply they let peer pressure (mainly from her 'best friend' Charlie try and do their job for them.

She didn't run, and once she'd moved away from Charlie, she seemed much more cheerful.

Bradley and I took part in the toddler's race, I was holding his hand. If only we'd got off to a better start, we'd have won thaty race, as it was we came second. A proud second. And Bradley had a sticker!

This he wore to his school, and was asked by several teacher what the sticker was and explained how he was as Esme's School Sports day.

Esme's show and tell assembly

Esme's show and tell assembly. Our little girl didn't have to say anything, she just had to show a picture. Not that we had a clue what was going on in the story. The elephants, I'm sure they should have danced. And the butterflies shouldn't have ben so hilarious as they were.

Good fun though, and so nice to see our kid in action. So good, we decide that we should bring Bradley to this sort of thing... So he went to sports day.

We arrived when the hall had just the cast

show and tell full

Then, and I guess this must have been quite intimidating, the rest of the school arrived.
