Another school week kick starts with a..... well it stumbles to a slow start. Tetchy and all over the place I coaxed Boy Wonder into the shower and there he stayed for what seemed forever. Once out and ready for school he seemed a bit calmer and we had pancakes before school.
Football club was cancelled today so Boy Wonder went to after school club instead with Cat Girl. He said that he was okay with this but he wasn't too convincing. He also said that at school he had tummy aches and a head ache but hadn't told his teacher.
Boy Wonder was quickly distracted in the car by Cat Girl telling us the different words that she had learnt and what they began with. Boy Wonder asked her what 'astonished' began with? I explained that it was a hard word for Cat Girl to work out. He ignored me and proceeded to ask her what an adverb was? I explained again to Boy Wonder that Cat Girl is four years old and has just started school. He appeared quite shocked and stated that she was at school so should know these things! I changed the subject as this was going nowhere!
Both Boy Wonder and Cat Girl went for their swimming lessons and worked really hard. Boy Wonder achieved his 25 metre badge and Cat Girl did really well in her new hat group. Whilst waiting for Cat Girl to finish her lesson, Boy Wonder took a twenty minute shower. There was no getting him out, there wasn't a queue so I left him to it and waited near the cubicle for him whilst still watching Cat Girl in her lesson.
We arrived home and Boy Wonder and Cat Girl settled down to watch tv before bed. Boy Wonder looks quite tired today so hopefully will settle at a reasonable hour. Quite possibly the lengthily shower has chilled him out.
What a clean boy. Poor cat girl, sure she will learn quickly with bw as her tutor xx
