Man Training

Today was a typical Saturday.  We got up early and went to Shark Bait Kids.  Levi is now swimming most of the time we are there which is about 4 hours.  It must exhaust him but he just keeps going and going.  He is loving learning to use the regulator and spending time under the water.  The kids all love him and he loves them.  Pretty much win/win for everyone.  

On the way home we picked up Ty so Levi could have a friend and a bit of a play.  They were actually both pretty tired so for some of the playdate they watched "How to train your dragon".  Levi had no trouble watching it on the small screen and not in three D.  I finally saw the end of the movie that had been so ill fated for me in the past.  Initially Levi and i had gone to see the movie at the cinema, but the fire and throwing swords in 3D all proved too much for Levi.  He wanted to go home part way through the movie.  i gave him the iphone and asked if he could sit there and play (So I could watch the movie).  He didn't want to listen either as the sounds were too scary.  I finally paid attention and remembered why and for whom we were at the movie.  We left.  

About three weeks later we were in Kmart and as Levi was looking at books, I walked past a kid's book of the movie.  I thought "Fabulous, I can see how it finishes".  So I started reading.  Just as I got to the point where we had left the movie, a lady walking past had a big seizure next to me and fell on the ground.  Now I know very well that there is little I can do in this situation and in fact could have stood there and finished the book without altering her care, but I also knew just how bad it would have 'looked'.  So I stopped reading, stopped the person who wanted to put something in her mouth and got help and then resolved myself to never knowing the end of the movie.  

I went to a friend's 40th birthday party tonight and Levi was babysat by his cousin Sam.  Sam came over all happy and prepared for some 'Man Training'.  Sam needed a shave, so instead of shaving at home, he brought extra stuff and he and Levi had a shave together.  Levi had a blast ........ and then went to bed.  He is trashed!
