So Francine’s first educational field trip was a success. It wasn’t all smooth sailing and several times throughout the day we bickered (mostly when she wanted me to carry her–she’s not exactly light) but still, we managed to get home both in one piece and in peace. She had fun and learned new stuff, and that’s what matters. 🙂
Oh, and I’m so proud of her discipline in curbing her shopping impulses, especially in the midst of all those toys and trinkets. No tantrums when I told her I wasn’t buying her those eye-catching but flimsy plastic toys. But I told her I’ll get her souvenirs and she could choose the design she wanted. So we got her a souvenir shirt from Manila Zoo and a stuffed purple sea horse from Manila Ocean Park and that’s that. Not bad for a four-year-old kid. 😉
