DS had his first swimming lesson today and he took to it like a duck to water! In less than the half hour he was already diving down under and picking up objects for the tutor :) It was lovely to watch the repor with the tutor who is a young girl and it was good to see how confident he was.
Then we were left and DS was allowed to stay in the small pool with me by the side so he could continue to practice. We were enjoying ourselves then a mother got in with a little girl the same age. Mother smiled I smiled and smiled at the girl then while DS was "swimming" she backed off and whispered thats DS he is really naughty at school to her mother, mother looked and both left the pool just as DS was going to approach the girl to say hi :( It was the school that was bad not DS.
Then we came out and after a treat of a bottle of fizzy pop and a sausage roll we went to Tescos for a quick shop. DS is making his sisters pizza as an apology for playing with errr bubble bath in their room 
He needed the toilet and so I told him to pop in the mens and trusted him to come back out as I had a full load of shopping. I waited and an old gentleman came out, looked and made a beeline for me.
He said "is that your son or your grandson in the loo?" (grandson I mean to say!)
I said it is my son and waiting for the aftermath of what has gone wrong now but instead of problems he piped up.
I want to tell you that you have a very polite young man. He helped me get out of the toilet because I was struggling with the door and he came and opened the other door for me to come out. He has lovely manners. He told DS that the next time he will see him DS will be much older and he will grow up into a lovely polite man.
DS just stared at him but I was smiling from head to toe! And said thank you for coming over to tell me this as he had just made my day and I 
all the way home! I told his Dad about it and I still think DS hasnt got a clue why my chest is swelling from the straight shrug and straight face when his Dad praised him :)
