One of my favourite things about Bethany is that she doesn’t care what anybody thinks. She is her own person and her own unique personality.

She had a day off school today (teacher training day) and decided to dress for Christmas. So Christmas in July it is! She scooted around the lake as fast as she could while I ran after her, and then she had an ice-cream for a treat.

She wanted to try and use the skateboard ramp for her scooter, but it was too steep. We briefly went to the park before she was off on her scooter again!

Bethany loves her scooter. She loves going fast on her scooter or her bike. She hasn’t quite figured out how to use the brakes yet though. Hence we are killing shoe rubber very quickly. Her new trainers already have rubber missing from the toe!

She’s now playing with Lego while I chill for a few minutes.

Lucy was a bit worried when we took her to school on our way to the lake. She didn’t want Bethany to wear the Christmas outfit. “What if the other children laugh at her, mummy?”

I said, “so what?” Let Bethany be Bethany.
She’s cute. She loves Christmas. Even in July. And that’s okay.
