Funny old day today. Woke this morning with no get up and go unlike yesterday; funnily Callum woke up feeling the same. So what did we do? Well, we made a cuppa and curled up on the sofas and had a chat. Something we do on a daily basis in the week; sometimes they are short talks, others (like today) are a lot longer. We talked about Christmas, DVDs, films, Halloween, trampolining, the state of the house, renting vs buying, neighbours pros and cons, money, savings, bills and jobs. We were still talking and in pjs when Terri turned up at 10.30am. Hey ho.
Continued to chat until about 11am and then it was a dash to get dressed and make some toast and get ready before heading off to trampolining. Private lesson today; it's been a month since his last one as he wasn't well when he was due to have one last. Has managed the class classes (??), so not been a total lack of bouncing.
The class went really well today and I got my first telling off of the day. Callum reuses drinks bottles for water to take with him wherever he goes and he had a Mountain Dew bottle that he'd had ages. So much so that it's been washed so much that the label had gone completely white and was hanging off. He refused to rip the label off and both Kim and myself always remark on it. When I had my 'moment' the other day with regard to the tea in the bed incident, I had a bit of a blitz and .... threw the bottle away. He didn't say anything at the time, but I was chastised about it today. Whoops!
Anyway, back to the lesson. Callum is looking a lot more controlled and Kim got him to do some combination moves into a routine with a somersault to end. The whole routine went well, so just the dreaded somersault to crack. His rollovers went well and he was landing on his bottom but was able to go straight to standing. He had a go at some more somersaults with the mat and again positioning was good and he landed to then roll up to a stand. He just has to get the legs out straight at the right time to get to stand straight from roll. Kim got on trampoline and they had a practice with Kim holding Callum's wrist and shoulder. Somersaults nailed this way, but when on his own, they still aren't quite there. Having said that they are improving every week we go and his control of the moves is getting so much better. I don't think, well I hope, that it will be much longer before he finally nails the somersaults proper. More practice on rollovers needed. Callum pleased with himself and so was Kim, so all good. And Terri, who hasn't seen him for a while was impressed with his height and movements too.
Off to library to pick up reserved book; Ian Fleming Casino Royale and also discovered the other book we'd reserved was in too, Junk by Melvin Burgess. So Callum should have plenty to keep him reading for the next week or two as long as TV doesn't get in the way. We've decided to leave Brave New World for a while and go back later. I know that they did a dramatisation of it a while ago, so might see if that is available on DVD. Might be easier for Callum to watch than read.
A nose around Indian supermarket for rice papers, which they didn't have, and £10 spend on various things that I decided to stock up on and then Subway for lunch. Second telling off of the day came when we'd finished and were packing up to leave. I was sorting out the rubbish (Subway has far too much waste material if I'm honest, so might have to comment about it on their site) and I accidentally threw his drinks cup away. Wasn't entirely my fault as Terri handed it to me and without thinking I shoved it in the rubbish bag and put it in the bin. Whoops! In case you didn't know you can refill your drink once more and Callum normally does. Of course, because I'd thrown away the cup, he couldn't and I got a bit of a moan shall we say.
Pound store for severed body parts, Savers for face wash and WHSmiths for maths book and then home. Was nearly 3pm before we got back, unpacked, made a cuppa and sat down. Needless to say we didn't do anything else today. Art and Craft will be done tomorrow instead. Cardboard trees need to be made.
Since then he's been back on the computer playing Roblox and game on Facebook.
So not much, well no work done today, but that's how it goes sometimes. Lots of discussion, a bit of bouncing, shopping, eating out and spending time with the family which is all good, so I'm not worrying about it. We'll get it done another day.
Tomorrow intend to nip to Chatham to pick up some fabric and then get on with some arty, crafty stuff for the party. Might even get a banana cake made; Callum's second favourite cake after chocolate brownies.
