We struggled through the hot night and I joined Mum and Dad in the big bed for my usual early morning bottle. Afterwards, I crawled across to the large floor to ceiling windows and looked out at the beautiful view of the sea and banged on the window as some people were walking along the path.
After breakfast, Mum and Dad took me for a walk in the pram along the seaside path. Mum was puffing by the time we got to the top of the big hill past the playground, so we didn't go any further and I giggled while Dad pushed me in the swing at the playground. By the time we got home, we were all hot and sweaty! I was going to say that we had a quiet day lazing about the house. That was Mum and Dad’s plan but I put a spanner in the works by crawling up the stairs (and not going down so well) and so obviously needing one of them just behind me to help out when I decided to sit on a step and celebrate my achievements thus far, forgetting that there were many more steps below me! Eventually Dad moved a couple of Nanna’s boxes of books into position at the bottom of the stairs to stop me racing up them and getting to the first landing before they realised where I was!
At the end of the day we drove to the nice sheltered bay at Doddi’s Beach and I ate my dinner on the picnic blanket on the grass and afterwards we all went for a swim in the water. Yes, even Mum went in the sea so that tells you that it must have been hot! Although I liked Dad holding me in the water, I had the most fun sitting on the sand at the edge of water with little waves breaking over me with Dad there just to stop me toppling over if there was a big one. Squeals of delight!
