Overseas Again?

My little jet setter took 2 weeks off school recently to go on an overseas trip with his grandparents and aunty. It was his 3rd overseas trip this year!

My parents and sister ware planning a trip to Hong Kong and Sydney. As hubby and I do not travel as often, we decided at the last minute that it will be a good opportunity for him to see more of the world. It was a really rush decision and unfortunately for us, his passport was just short of 6 months to the expiry date. Obviously we had to pay more for an urgent passport application.

It was all worth it though as he really enjoyed himself. Hong Kong was a bit of a culture shock for him. The apartment that they were at was really tiny. Then there were the sea of people, language and food. He didn't mind it but it's not somewhere he wants to go again. His favourite places were Ocean Park and Disneyland.

He was on more familiar ground when they got to Sydney as he was there the last couple of times he travelled. There's also the fact that he was staying at my brother's place.

My sister said he is quite a savvy traveller now. He knows the airport well and knows exactly what to do when he is on an aeroplane.

I will never forget the time he was on an aeroplane, he was crying and telling me that he doesn't want to be on one anymore when we were landing. The air pressure was really hurting his ears. That is history now as he loves going overseas. I guess the air pressure in his ears is second nature to him now.

2013 Class Photo

It's school photo time again. Where has the time gone? My boy is growing up so fast.

These are his Year 2 classmates. They are in Room 9 and their teacher's name is Mrs Dhaliwal. She is an awesome teacher and really cares for the kids in her class.

End of Football Season 2013

Ryan has done one whole season of football. We did not know what to expect when we first registered him but I have to say his football skills has really improved. I still remember his complaints on his first day. He has come a long since then. The field was the muddiest that it has ever been on his last game. He came home and told me that it was really muddy and he had fun (just in case you are wondering... yes, I didn't go to the game - naughty mummy). He even said yes when I asked him if he wants to do the mud run that I did.

This is his team photo which was taken a while ago. It was only given out to them at the prize giving recently. Each of them were also given a medal to acknowledge their achievement for the season.
