Gymnastic Competition and Fun Farm

Had my first experience of a Gymnastic competition!

So proud of Robert as he tried really hard - he's never done anything like it before and he concentrated well and listened to what he was told, plus he's excellent at the Backwards Roll and the Vault.

Had a slightly satisfying moment when I had to tell James and Robert's dad off for playing a game on James' "Tab" with the volume up, which I could hear from the opposite side of the Gymnasium and all the other parents were tutting.  Just goes to prove that him turning up was just for show as he was more interested in that than watching his son compete.

Robert was so proud with his certificate for taking part - I would be more than surprised if he made it through to the final 10, but I hope he has gained from the whole experience.

And so, onto the videos and photos from today - please feel free to fast forward through them - they are here for future memories as opposed to their filming excellence!

We then spent the rest of the afternoon at the Fun Farm.

Ben's "Lello" and Robert's News!

Had a rough couple of days with Ben not sleeping too well, but last night was better so fingers crossed he's getting over his snuffles and normality will resume without Si's and my snuffles getting any worse!

I took Ben to the Park and managed to catch his sweet little "Lello" on tape.  He now says it to anything when he first sees it and sounds so cute.

And the big news from Robert.........

He's been picked for the School's Gymnastic Squad for this weekend!

He has never been to any gymnastic clubs or anything like that, so it must just be natural ability (obviously inherited from me! Amusing for anyone who remembers me from being the most un-sporty child ever!)

I will update how he gets on, but just being picked makes me so proud!
