First school trip with Karthi

I cannot remember much about Maya’s first year of school in prep. May be the fact that Karthi was just a 6 months baby then or the fact that I was going through depression, I don’t remember much of the good moments. Maya is a very outgoing child and though I volunteered few times in reading groups in her class, I never went for day trips. I wanted to go for Karthik because 1. I knew he would like me to be around 2. I wanted to see how he is with his friends and teachers at school. The morning we started, he said, I will sit next to Eileen, you sit on the other side of Eileen. I laughed and said, you have someone between us already. I even mentioned that to Uday and was intrigued how he would be, would be stay close or be like Maya who forgets me when she is around her friends. My shy little boy was super sweet the whole day. He stuck to me, looking out for me and wanted to be with me all the time. Made me happy to be honest. It was a small farm, north of Brisbane and to be honest, I felt there weren’t much for a school trip per se. But the preppies were too happy to see the pony, roosters and the bunnies. The bunnies were super cool, named after characters in Peter rabbit. They sniffed around the kids and karthik was super happy. Same was when he was handed a small chick incubating. I had a good chat with one of Karthiks friends mom and I was pleasantly thrilled how nice it went. I ended up in a migraine as usual due to lack of water, but overall, a happy day and a memory to cherish.
