Aaron's Blog

Whilst Aaron was eating his tea last week, his tooth came out and he swallowed it! Oh dear!! He didn’t notice until he started to chew another mouth full of food when he realised his wobbly tooth had gone. Obviously, he didn’t have a tooth to put under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy, so he wrote a note instead and the Tooth Fairy eventually came and left him £1, so he was very happy!

On Wednesday, Aaron got his next silver merit certificate and was also presented with his 50m swimming certificate and badge. Ben had some awards as well in the assembly so the headmaster, Mr Hancock, said it was a proper ‘family affair’ as they ended up taking turns going up to get their awards! haha

A couple of weeks ago, Aaron decided that he wanted to try and join a football club again, with sessions run by WestPro. This coincided with Coby starting playing as well on a Tuesday at 5pm at Eggbuckland school, as Aaron knew that his good friends also played football on a Tuesday at 6pm, straight after Coby’s year, and they had been asking Aaron to join up for ages. So we said we would take him along with Coby and he joined in with the first hour (so the coach could see how well he did) before also joining in with the session for his own age group.

We were quite surprised that Aaron lasted both sessions without getting too tired out and we were also impressed with how well he played, especially in the lower age group. He scored a couple of cracking goals and we were cheering him on from the sidelines! He seemed to really enjoy it but kept looking over at us for reassurances. 😉 He was with the older children from that group, so Coby was with some others of his own age in a different group. Aaron was still the oldest there though and taller than them all! 

In the second session, all his friends played as well and they were put into teams. Aaron was in goal quite a lot but he did play out as well and did well, although you could see the step up in quality with his age group. He did very well though and did a few good passes and saves in goal, and managed a couple of shots.  It was very good really although we would have liked a bit more training in the older session due to some team coaches being there wanting to practices for the upcoming matches. All the training seemed to happen in the session before with the younger children. Anyway, Aaron enjoyed it and wanted to carry on each week, so we paid for him to start properly and he now goes on a Tuesday. 😉

Last Saturday at Swimming, Aaron completed his 50 metres Swimming and got his certificate. He was very proud and so was I to watch him do it! 😉

During half term, Ben, Aaron and Coby all went to Diggerland for the day with Kelly and some of their friends and their families. They all had a great time, as you can see from the below picture! They came home extremely worn out but loved the day. Ben was allowed to go off with Annie and Jake and go on the rides they wanted to go on, as it is a safe enough place and they didn’t want to hang around with the smaller ones! 😉
