Today dad raced home from work to be in time to take Nils to the swimming pool. At the age of 5 years old, Nils is allowed to have swimming lessons and so we did. Nils was very anxious all day mom told dad and when dad arrived home he found half the neighbourhood's kids in our backgarden jumping on the trampoline and the canoe in the middle of the lawn... Kids were screaming... total chaos. After we got rid of the kids that did not belong to us, we went to the swimmingpool were ofcourse a computer breakdown prevented us from being able to pay for the lessons.. Anyway, Nils could ofcourse begi and togehter we went to the dressing room were lots of parents (mostly mothers ofcourse..) were trying to get their kids in the swimming gear. Nils was given a balloon and that was to distinguish the beginners from the pro's. And he was not the only one. Dad had to retire to a place near the entrance were all parents stared like fish through a window at their kids. Unfortunately Nils's group was all the way at the end so dad could only spot him now and then but the camera brought it all a bit closer. Nils was so exited afterwards, he loved it! Let;s hope the enthusiasm stays like that..
