We're making the most of the cooler weather at the moment (when I say cooler I mean 28-35 degrees) and spending lots of time outdoors and on the beach. At the weekend, we went to a local beach resort about 40km outside of Doha. The network of expat mums which I belong to organised their annual 'spring fling' and it took place at this resort so we thought we'd check it out. Emily met the Easter bunny and joined in with an Easter egg hunt. She was terrified of the Easter bunny but more than happy to eat the chocolate that I had to collect for her because she was too scared to go herself. There were camel rides on the beach and Emily was very excited by it all. It was a lovely day at the resort just relaxing, swimming and playing on the beach. We have also been back to our more local beach at Al Wakra and Emily had great fun destroying Andi's sandcastles and burying him in the sand.
Emily has all her molars coming through and is being a very brave soldier. She is struggling with her food because of her teeth and so seems to be surviving on the things she likes most which is mainly cake, salted popcorn and grapes. I don't think I will win mother of the year.
Emily had her first swimming lesson since we moved to Qatar and she loved it. She learnt lots of new things and had a good attempt at trying to retrieve a toy from the swimming pool floor. It was lovely to be having a lesson outside in the sunshine at 8.30am in the morning. I just wish the weather would stay like this - I am very nervous about the looming heat!!
