Day 27  When asked what he would like to do today, Hayden's reply was to go to the swimming pool.  To a parent with a child who has a huge fear of swimming, this is a huge thing!  So we weren't going to miss the opportunity and it was off to the pool we went.  Hayden still has a long way to go, but he will now go in a swimming pool if he knows he can touch the bottom, he will move around the pool on his own fairly confidently, and he is even starting to put his head under the water because he knows he can do it!

After our morning swimming, it was a quiet afternoon at home, with Steve staining the front deck, and some 'new' friends coming to visit.  Hayden decided he wanted to get out his new Meccano set to make something, and happily read the instructions and started to build his robot by himself.  He did a great job, pretty much getting all the way to the last two instructions without any help!  He was very proud of his first attempt at Meccano!
