You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth

– Kahlil Gibran

It seems like ages ago now, but when the nice weather was with us last week we headed to the paddling pool at Stoke Park in Guildford. Max was so excited and kept saying ‘papal pool’ the whole way! But then when we arrived it was so busy that he didn’t want to go in. I was on the verge of leaving and heading back home, when I decided that we were going to give it a go, so I put his swimming gear on and we just sat on the edge of the pool. Within 10 minutes he was in and splashing away and loving every minute!
