Kieran's 1st camp-out

Our dearie first-born camped in his childcare center compound for the first time. The first time he ever slept outside without his family around.

It was a hot Friday afternoon and all parents were invited to join the kids from 3.30pm till 6.30pm. I took afternoon leave to witness and to lend moral support to him.

The kids were segregated into 5 teams and each team sent 1-2 representatives to explain the projects they had done in the early afternoon. Kieran and a friend represented his team - Fantastic 15 by explaining "National Day".



It carried on with a quiz, telematch and treasure hunt where knowledge, self-help skills and teamwork played a major role. The kids helped to pitch tents while some daddies prepared for the campfire. Suddenly I realised my boy has grown up to be more independent and self-assured. Though he has his fair share of mischief.

OK, gotta go as I have to pick him up at about 10.30am today.

The kids enjoyed so much. Kieran helped in pitching the tent and I was so worried if he was well looked after at night. Kept asking my hubby if he would be alright, hahaha.

That boy's name is Kester & mommy is Michelle.
