This morning I absolutely needed to go to work to deal with this website business, so I dropped the girls AND the babysitter off at my mom's, who whisked them off to the Strawberry Farm, where they picked some berries to bring home, but apparently ate their weight in berries as well. Glad to report that BB produced no puke, so whatever it was, it was gone in 12 hours.
I used the morning to contact everyone I know about this web problem. Thanks to my readers, I am pursuing different options right now, just waiting to hear back who can actually make sense of this mess and take it over for me. (It's not solved, but at least, we are getting somewhere and I now know what to ask, and I can also answer most of the questions)
Just after lunch, I swung by and picked up some pink-colored faces and stained hands and brought everyone home. BB crashed and M. dealt with Dumpling while I did some more work from home. They ended up in the pool, so when BB woke up an hour later, I put on my bathingsuit and we joined them.
I am very, very happy to report that my scardy-cat Dumpling has FINALLY agreed to take off the floaties. And wouldn't you know it she's a great swimmer! yesterday with her little friend J, she took them off long enough to show off her swimming skills, but she stayed on top of the water. Today, without any coaxing, she made her way to the bottom of the shallow end and picked up the diving sticksALL BY HERSELF. She's gaining confidance my leaps and bounds and I'm betting she'll be jumping off the diving board without the pool-noodles before the weekend is out. Which is great news, because her 2 weeks of day camp includes swim lessons, and now she won't have to be with the "baby" class.
Yummy, those berries sound great, nothing like berries fresh from the field. Yay for Dumpling enjoying water, so much more fun, especially since you have a pool!! Hope you got your Web problems sorted out... enjoy the long weekend...umm, is Canada Day still a statutory holiday in Quebec??lol
