Tadhg's inflatable superheroes

Tadhg, Sadhbh and mom have spent a lot of time at the Port Dalhousie Carnival over the last week. Tadhg enjoyed going on the rides but most of all liked the carnival games where he could win prizes. Tadhg was consistent in his prize selections and ended up with inflatable Batman, Spiderman and Superman! The new house doesn't look so empty anymore.

Tadhg graduates from bobbers!!

Tadhg has attended swimming clasess on Sunday mornings at the Y for the past few months. Tadhg loves swimming and usually enjoys going to swim class. Tadhg was in the Bobbers class which aims to teach kids how to hold onto the wall, kick and blow bubbles and glide with some assistance but mainly involves screaming, splashing and occasional crying. Sunday was end of term for Tadhg's class. Tadhg was great for this swim term and graduated from Bobbers with flying colours! He's on to Floaters next where he has learn how to float unassisted!

Tadhg and Sadhbh celebrate Summer Solstice

Tuesday was Summer Solstice and Port Dalhousie celebrated with a drumming session on the beach while the sun set. Tadhg, Sadhbh, mom and dad are finally settled in their new house so decided to wander down to sample the atmosphere. Tadhg had to stop off for a ride on the carousel first before getting to the beach.
The booming sounds emanating from the beach enticed Tadhg to bring our his mini-bodhran and start playing. He quickly tired of this as his booming was lost in the collective and he wanted to try something else. After dancing around the drum circle for a while, Tadhg wanted to build a sand volcano to celebrate the solstice. Sadhbh was content to lie in her buggy and listen to the sounds.

It was a beautiful evening on the beach and made the family appreciate their new home even more. Unfortunately a storm front swept in over the lake and Tadhg and Sadhbh were getting sleepy so the family wandered back to witness the rest of the solstice from their new home.

Tadhg and Sadhbh's new house!

Tadhg and Sadhbh finally moved into their new house on Saturday. The last few weeks were spent cleaning and painting the house to get it ready for the move. Everyone was excited to have moved in to their new family home and after 3 moves in the last 6 months do not plan to move again for many years! There is not much furniture in the house yet and Tadhg loved having so much space to run around!

Tadhg's football season starts

Tadhg's summer football season started this week. Games are on Monday evenings with training sessions on Saturdays. Coach dad tried to get the team ready for the first match by putting the players through their drills but he wasn't sure how things would go on match day. Tadhg's team started well but unfortunately were a bit afraid of the ball!

Tadhg quickly grew tired of running around and preferred to lie on the grass relaxing. Dad definitely has a lot more training to do. At least the kids seemed to have fun.

Sadhbh was happy to sleep through the game.

Tadhg's school concert

On Wednesday Tadhg took part in a school concert where he was up on stage with all the other kids from his Montessori school. Tadhg looked so cute in his Woody t-shirt but was more interested in going to mom in the crowd than taking part in the concert!
