Photo 366 challenge – days 14 & 15

As I’ve started to post on The Boy & Me‘s weekly linky on Sundays, I’m trying to catch up on my Project 365 photos and then I am all up-to-date and can start posting all my photos weekly. So, here are the pictures from the weekend.

Day 14:

This is Mariatorget on Södermalm at dusk. The building on the right with lots of lights shining and with the flags hanging outside is Hotel Rival, owned by Benny Andersson from ABBA. I snapped this while Little O and I were heading to see some friends over here on a brief visit from London. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay for about an hour as they have a beautiful, minimalist apartment here in Stockholm and the lovely items that they do have are all expensive and particularly attractive to a cheeky, sticky-fingered little 20-month old…

This morning, we took Little O to his first swim school class. Before, we’ve only done baby swim classes with him (levels 1 and 2) but we were advised to skip over baby swim level 3, owing to his age and as he’s happy in the water and go straight into swim school for 1-3 year olds. He was in his element in the water and the classes suited him a bit more as there were fewer songs and more playing around in the water – jumping from the side of the pool, going down a slide into the water and climbing up onto a floating mat. He’s the youngest in the class and has not yet learned how to jump in from a standing position but I think it will only be a couple of weeks before he is, as he spent much of this first lesson studying what the other littlies were up to.
