Swimming

Today was a long day. We spent most of the morning playing hide and seek and other wonderful games that 4 year olds play. The afternoon was spent at the Leisure Centre, in the pool. Kendra loves it there.

We had arranged to meet a friend there, but she the kind of person who is always late. Can I even try to explain that to a 4 year old? It is so tough on Kendra. But of course, Kendra is excited when D shows up. Kendra was cranky for most of the day and it took everything from me to try to keep her happy. She'd been awake in the night and had then gotten up early. Late to bed, early to rise... makes Kendra very cranky. We made it through the day with Kendra trying to swim a bit and float. Also, D is the kind of person who likes to brag a lot. Shouldn't let my feelings get hurt, but they do. I just respond with 'Well, every kid is different'. She was going on about her nephew jumping in the water and not caring about getting water in his face. Kendra hates water in her face, but is getting better.

I ran into someone I went to school with. He didn't recognize me at first (I wouldn't either... LOL) But in the end, he did. It was good to see him.

This evening we spent some time at McDonald's and Wal-mart. Kendra had lots of fun running down the aisles, making the freezers and fridges turn their lights on. Kendra went to bed late again. We lose an hour sleep tonight, too, which I am NOT looking forward to. I need an extra hour sleep, not less.
