Excursion

way too outdated post! mummy has been really busy these days with extra portfolio at work minus extra incentives / increment. too burnt out after work to update this poor blog! Keke

the last day of the program is an excursion to Siloso beach @ sentosa. after some discussions and considerations, it is decided to follow the group setting off from school in a bus! sound very exciting isn't it which is the reason why it was decided against driving in. the bus journey was promised to be tons of fun with songs and all, not a single bit boring.

set off pretty early in the morning and daddy grumbled over the load mummy had packed along. a little jam along the way but still reached school in time. the bus journey was a fun one since the class boarded on a bus without any 'outsiders'. songs were requested and sung BUT all Zethan is interested in was the unblocked view of looking out of window!

reached the beach and found a nice spot with shade to drop all the stuff. applied sunblock and changed into swimsuit. All this while Zethan is fussing big time and clings on like an Koala. Gathered it was because daddy accidentally allowed sand into Zethan's sandal and he was certainly put off! mummy tried her very best to warm Zethan up bit by bit yet in vain. Not only his refusal to come down on the beach, not even allowing mummy to squat down while carrying him and getting close to the shoreline. after a few attempts, mummy gave up for good and to spare each other the agony, whipped him off to the shower area for water play! a pity the water fountain under going maintainence.

He had great load of fun while the poor daddy had to press on the tap for him for a good 20mins to say the least. time is pretty tight as the babes did not managed a proper snack before being rushed off to board the bus. majority of the babies KO-ed on the journey back!

so there you have it, the very not so exciting adventure 1st trip to the beach, not very fruitful afterall to round up the whole program.

by and large to summarize the holiday program, mummy do not think that Zethan had benefit much from it, socialization aside. His attention span is way too short and could not 'blend' in with the activities e.g. storytime roaming around, sit-down singalong activities did not managed to excite him as well. She feels that the teachers did not displayed good crowd control management and the class is way too huge for toddlers of this age. By the time activity get around and reaches Zethan / over and done with, he is no longer interested. One thing for certain, at the very least, mummy get to 'discover' more of Zethan's likes and dislikes for her to work or improve on the weakness.
