Keeping The Balance

Samantha's new favourite thing to do is, "keep the tricky balance." I am not sure where the phrase comes from but it does have a certain ring to it. And indeed I think epitomizes what we are all trying to do in these critical times, a tricky balance indeed.

We are at home being sick again. Not sure if this is the same thing I had last week relapsing or an all new specimen o'illness.

While I try to keep a balance on theocratic responsibilities and privileges, child rearing, house-keeping, and a healthy diet with exercise, Samantha is balancing more material things. Here are some poses caught today.





"Mum, look at me do this tricky balance!"


From here she dives into the water and swims across the kitchen.

"I'm tired of swimming now. Oh so much swimming. Now I'll go in my boat." She climbs into her boat made from an upturned toy ironing board and brooms along.

After repeating this sequence three times in quick concession she decides she's ready for a boat race. That is the photo below.

Here she is dong a bit of boat racing.



This was her first balancing trick and still a favourite.

Another new balance is stacking two sofa cushions on top of the coffee table, climbing up and jumping off.

Another favourite tricky balance and jumping point.
