Coco's birthday party

Yesterday was Coco's birthday.

We, or rather, the kids, had a splashing good time at Wild Wild Wet.

About 17 kids turned up for the party, and most of them stayed on because it was their first time there and they hadn't had so much fun at a swimming pool before.

Coco was worried that the weather might turn wet. So we prayed about it before we left. It was a beautiful weather. Very little sun, but not so sunny that you need sunscreen. It was quite humid though, but it couldn't be helped.

The only disaster that happened was Coco slipped and fell and had a huge bump on her head. But she gritted her teeth and held back her tears because everybody was about to sing her the birthday song soon. The poor girl!

I got to meet other mothers and fathers. They are all very nice people.

And the kids' presents. It makes me realise their differences from the neighbourhood school kids not only lie in their attitude towards studying and teachers, but even presents they give. The presents' prices range from $20 - $40. And they are good gifts. You won't see anything that looks suspiciously like something that have been left around from last year's Christmas gift-exchange.

Organising the party has left me tired though, but I guess all parents are the same. We go by the same line,"As long as it makes the child happy."

But I suspect this would be the last time it's such a big-scale one.
