nixon: you are extremely precious at the moment, a nasty combo of a full on head cold which is making it’s way through the family and tooth #2 is rendering you very adverse to sleep! you won’t let daddy help you much but you do LOVE to sit and read Hairy Maclary with him. over & over again.
ethan: despite having just come out of a cast and then a moonboot you blew my mind at swimming sports. a week prior your teacher had simply entered you in one flutter-board race {which i rectified pretty quickly as even in year 0 you have never been in a flutter-board race and year 5 wasn’t a good time to start!}. your results were amazing;
* 1st place medley
* 3rd 1 length freestyle
* 2nd 2 length freestyle
* 2nd 2 length backstroke
* 2nd 2 length breaststroke
* 1st 4 lengths freestyle
* 3rd place class relay team
you were awarded Joint Year 5 Swimming Champion with your friend with whom you share a lovely, competitive relationship and both of you showed such sportsmanship towards each other. i was just as proud of that as i was your impressive results.
