Next instalment of Riley and Jemma

The children have been busy- both started swimming lessons this term. Riley is struggling in confidence despite being quite capable. He is a bit of a worrier. Jemma just likes to do her own thing and she is quite confident in the water.

They really are playing nicely together and Riley is quite protective of her while Jemma adores him so it is nice to watch their relationship develop.

There has been a change around in Riley's therapy so we now have Wednesday mornings free. It is great. Today we went back to an old habit of going on the bus and visited the library, did some shopping and then went to the gluten free cafe. I am really looking forward to Wednesdays and lots of outings.

They went to Oamaru for the night again last weekend and had a great time with Grandma and Grandad- riding their bikes, feeding ducks, eating a bbq and sleeping in until 7am! Though Grandad has a lot to answer for! He was watching Bathurst and taught Riley about Ford cars so now Riley points out every Ford he sees on the street...a 'special interest' in the making...

Riley's new saying is "I don't think so"... smart alec! Jemma is still on "my turn" and she likes to disappear out the back door, get on her ride-on and take it up the drive then wait for me to come and go riding with her.
