Not So Good News

My first entry of the year and it's not good news!!!

We have just cancelled Ryan's swimming lessons. Reason? He doesn't want to go them anymore. I feel terrible. Parents are being encouraged to take their kids to swimming lessons and here I am taking him out of lessons. After years of learning to swim, he has achieved nothing. Things were going pretty well until the beginning of last year. He had a little slip and his lessons went from bad to worse since then.

We are hoping that he might be ok with it after a break from it. He will be starting school next year so hopefully by then he will want to go back to swimming.

The other thing we have to share is Ryan has just developed chicken pox. I noticed two spots a couple of days ago. We took him to the doctor yesterday and he confirmed it. The doctor said he is one of the lucky ones as he hasn't got a fever and it looks to be quite mild. I'm crossing my fingers that he's right. Just as we are about to go back to work. Ash has to take an extra week off work. The good thing is at least it's now and not during Xmas or his birthday, which is less than a month away.
