Yesterday we attempted the ferry ride again even with these gales and we were fine until we arrived in Hamilton and I was told there would be no more ferries to Dockyard. But in fact after I flagged down a ride back and we arrived at the boat sure enough there was one but anyway....
On the ferry ride Marley and I discussed the rising sun. Feeling like I should siese the moment I also explained to her what 'white caps' were. She got it one time and once her new little ferry buddy arrived at Rockaway she proceeded to explain them to him too!
Later that day I had a play date with two girls from my new mommy group. One of them has a little boy a week younger than Jacob and the other a girl about 9 months. Wow how quickly you forget the stages! She was so cute moving herself all around and very interested in the babies. Jacob wasn't fazed much having his big sister always in his face probably helped. Now today after seeing his little friend scoot about he is so frustrated trying to move himself. He managed to flip himself over the day before for the first time but now I think his goal is probably to crawl! He is kicking his legs and screaching away, he even almost pushed himself out of his chair where he usually sits taking in the view. Oh boy i'm going to have my hands full with this one!
We are now off to Jacob's first swim at Sandys 360 pool. I would have liked it to be in the ocean but its a little cool for that and the pool is indoor and heated. It is so important for our kids to learn how to swim living on the boat. A lot of people wait until their kids are older to teach them but they really are sponges and pick it up very quick when given the opportunity. Sometimes it is our own fears that hold our children back. Will post on how it goes :)
