First Camp

Ariq went for his first camp last Wednesday. It was a 3 days 2 nights camp. He was extremely excited about the camp...bugging me to pack his bag since day 1 he got the camping list. Well, I wasn't really worried about him going for the camp. He's the most independent of my 3 angels. And he's been away from us before...for holiday trips with his grandparents & aunties. Hence the reason why I wasn't really worried.

But the rainy season has started since last week with showers almost everyday. And on the first night itself, the rain decided to make its appearance again. It was nice being at home...on the cosy bed...snugged under the blanket. But my poor boy was at camp...in a tent....in the rain. Any mother would be worried. My poor boy....
Even on the second day...it rained. All the way even through the night. Again, I felt uneasy...he must be uncomfortable. Even when its not raining...sleeping in the tent at night is already cold. Well, I went camping before....hence, I know.
And true enough, when I called home on Friday to check if he has reached home....heard his hoarse voice on the line. My boy is unwell.....told him to rest and ended the call. When I reached home that day, he was sleeping....must be tired + feeling unwell.
But luckily...hub was home on Friday, hence he gave Ariq paracetamol almost immediately. So by the time I reached home from work, Ariq temp was back to normal. His voice was still hoarse though. He was tired....even when he was sharing his camp stories, he sounded tired.
6.15pm it was. Ariq said "I need to go fetch Arisya!" and he headed for the door. Hahaha! That has been his daily duty....even when he's tired, he still wanna go fetch Arisya. Sweet of him!
