Then a few days before the trip (deadline to reply way past), kindy called me to enquire if JE wanted to go as ALL her classmates were going! So pressured her again and convinced her to say yes.
The day of the trip, I tried not to think too much whether she was ok. Hubby went to pick her up from kindy at the stipulated time and had to go home again as the bus hadn't arrived. I was keeping my fingers crossed that the reason for the delay WASN'T because something had happened to JE!
Then after she was safely in hubby's car, she said... "I said I didn't want to go on the school trip. But it was..... AWESOME! (flinging both arms up)" Haha great. And phewww that everything turned out fine!
Received the photos and I experienced another first.... how to differentiate my child from other similarly-dressed, similar-sized kids! One grouch: There were so many photos of OTHER kids haha. Obviously when I take photos, I only focus on my own kids! The only decent photos of her are here below (excepting one with a snake. I declare this blog a snake-free zone).
JE is crouching in front...
In the bus
Rabbits! I love rabbits!
Lunch, yumm
What a fun time for the kids! Ah ha! I think I spotted JE in the group photos...is she 2nd from the left? She is having fun feeding the rabbits. Must be very hungry after all the fun....
ReplyDeleteLooks fun actually! Sometimes I prefer my girl not to go for these field trips too as they always come back soooo tired and sometimes i feel the same way as you - that I can bring her myself too.
ReplyDeleteBut hard to resist when most of her classmates are going and the sch will even call me to say that she really wants to join in! So if I really don't want her to go, I'd just let her miss sch to prevent her from feeling "left out". :P

Aha, I hope this school trip has changed her view about walking and hot sun for outings since she enjoyed this trip so much! Kudos to you too for not worrying too much and let her go with the school.
ReplyDeleteNancy, you have sharp eyes! Yes that's her. :) I must ask if she finished that burger or not.
ReplyDeleteAi, no classes that day anyway since teachers were involved in the trip. This place I wasn't keen to go since a snake figured prominently on the posters. I am so NOT a snake lover.
Mun, yeah she will have to get used to life without a stroller around! In malls she wants to sit in that stroller to get from place to place.
