A photo a day, every day, for a year! This is my post for the year 2021 Week 17. For some reason, it feels like this week has gone quite quickly. Which is a good thing as we now have a three-day weekend to enjoy. This week I have also had to start thinking about Ethan’s birthday and buying his presents. This also meant we had an influx of boxes arriving at the house.
Project 365 – 2021 Week 17
Day 114
Another Saturday night at swimming for Ethan. He is really glad to be back and we are glad that he has the chance to burn off some of his extra energy.
Day 115
Nanny came round to visit our garden. Little E has always been interested in flowers and Ellie’s schoolwork is helping her embrace it more at the moment. Nanny brought Little E new plants and seeds so they could refresh the garden pots they made a few years ago.
Day 116
Monday is Little E’s turn for swimming lessons. Darren takes her swimming whilst I work. He always took Ethan as I was always terrified watching Ethan in the pool when he was little and learning to swim without us.
Day 117
I had an appointment for my second Covid vaccine today. The only time I could go was after the school run. The doctor told Little E to take a photo on my phone. She is very proud of this photo.
Day 118
I can’t believe how big the caterpillars are. I didn’t know that caterpillars could make so much mess as they grow.
Day 119
One caterpillar started to make his chrysalis before we went to bed. I found this amazing to watch as I didn’t know how it was done. By the morning his chrysalis was complete.
Day 120
Ethan got a Star of the Week award. He was very proud of his certificate and carried it all the way home. He had told me earlier in the week that he went to a playground. Then when he was telling Darren he mentioned a different area. We worked out that that playground had been closed so they had to go to the playground that he had told me about. We joked about what an interesting journey that must have been with a group of children who don’t like change. Knowing how bad Ethan reacts if we have to quickly change plans. His award was for coping so well with the change so we know he must have done very well on that journey.
That was our 2021 Week 17 adventure. You can read about our week 16 here.
That is great that Little E is so interested in the garden. My two have no interest at all.
That’s great news about your 2nd vaccine.
Well done to Ethan with Star of the week. x
I can’t even imagine how exciting must be for the little ones to have swimming lessons again. Well done for having your 2nd jab, the picture is wonderful. Also, well done to Ethan for his Star of the Week award.
I had no idea that caterpillars made mess either! Glad you have had your second vaccine. I can’t swim so my hubby has taken the kids. #project365
Well done Ethan and glad both kids are swimming, we get to go back next month too. It’s fascinating watching the caterpillars isn’t it #365
Ethan and Little E both look very happy to be back at swimming. How lovely that Little E is taking an interest in gardening. Glad you have had your second vaccine. Well done to Ethan on getting a star of the week award. #project365
The caterpillars are growing so fast! You must be so relieved to have had the second vaccine now!
Well done on getting star of the week!
Well done to Ethan with coping with the changes to using the playground. Hope both are enjohying their after school activities
Yay well done Ethan on the certificate and the reason for it. Glad you have had your second vaccine I need to get my second one booked! I also love flowers so share your daughter’s passion. We have also had caterpillars and the pot is quite disgusting by the end of it!
So pleased you have had both your jabs now! Well done and nice to have a photo to remember the moment. Hope Ethan enjoyed his swim. I keep hoping the local pool will open soon, but not quite yet unfortunately. Your right the caterpillars are very messy, but what a fantastic experience watching the chrysalis transformation. Great effort Ethan with star of the week, well done!
I love doing the caterpillar’s with the kids, you have inspired me to order some. Hope you felt ok after your second jab
