Today we went to swimming. Levi had a fabulous day and listened really well. All the kids did actually and that always helps them all. They try so hard to follow the commands of the teacher and valiantly try to obey, but at times they all get confused! I so so bummed that I didn't have the video running today. They do freestyle first and then backstroke. The kids had all just been switched from freestyle to backstroke and they had done a couple of laps with the kick board. Then the teacher said;
"OK Come over without the kick board. Don't forget your backstroke arms"
So the three kids all put themselves in the freestyle position and did backstroke arms. They had to kick like fiends to move forwards at all! For every kick, their arms were propelling them back against it. All of them still made it to the end but it must have wiped them out! And it was funny! I mean really funny, esp. as all the adults interpreted the words as likely those reading it did, as adults. We would have done backstroke!
It seems that USA has now acquired the weather that has been plaguing Australia for the last several months. The tornadoes are of a scale higher again than normal, just as the flooding and the cyclones have been that level above here. They have produced satellite before and after photos for the tornadoes just as they did for the floods and it is well worth a look. I hope that they can recover. I hope that they can pull up from the dual crosses they are bearing in those central states. I think they were only just starting to think about pulling of of their financial woes and along comes this kind of weather!
