Today is first school holiday. This year may be the most busiest school holiday for Derick. He is joining church camp. It is an in-door camp which means he is staying overnite at the church.
He requested to join the camp this year. In contrary, he refused to join last year with the reason that he was too young and only want to join the camp when Mommy could accompany him.
He even took the public bus to the church himself this morning. Sam waited with him at the bus stop until the bus arrived. He hopped in the bus himself and waved at Sam. The church is about 4 bus stop from our home. About 30 minutes later, I send sms to the teacher to check whether he has reached. The teacher informed me that Derick is with them now.
Tomorrow, we will be visiting Der and watching him to perform a small performance to us. Perhaps, he will sing with his classmates on the stage. On Wednesday, Der told me that he would go back on his own. I reminded him to keep his student card properly, drink water, cover himself while sleeping, inform teacher if he feels unwell. Der also informed me that he doesn't need to bring a blanket as he could easily zip himself in the sleeping bag. All the camper sleeps on the sleeping bag. Every one has to bring his/her sleeping bag. In such a coincidence, Derick got a free sleeping bag from school during Children Day.
My baby has grown up. I really hope that by joining this camp he would learn to be more independent, neat, and discipline to himself.
