Sunday 22nd January

What a fun Sunday.

We start the day meeting Tom’s school friend and head off to the the local swimming pool for some swimming practice.

We enjoy lunch before Tom plays on his Scalextric with his new cars Santa bought him for Christmas.

We head off to Pets at Home to buy Tom his first pet… 2 Goldfish.
Tom is sooooo excited. He tells the shop assistant which colour fish he would like. We chat on the journey home what the fishes names will be.

After settling the fish into their new home and giving them a touch of food, Tom can’t decide on the names. To give Tom some ideas we watch his new the Cars 2 movie that he has bought with his Christmas money. It was the first time I had watched it and its great. After all that still no ideas on the fish names.
