Looks like it was a fun day at school for Wayne last Friday, as they celebrated both the mid autumn festival as well as Children's Day!

When Wayne told me he needed to wear party clothes to school, mommy was wondering "What are party clothes???".. Thankfully, Wayne helped me with it, deciding he wanted to wear his 'policeman' outfit that day so that 'he could catch Conrad' (his own words!!). 

So he wore his policeman outfit on Friday, brought some chocolate biscuits to share with his friends for the party and.. yes, how could we forget his Thomas and Friends lantern since it was the mid autumn festival celebration as well!

Mommy had, together with meimei, searched Orchard for lanterns the afternoon before and when mommy saw this Thomas lantern, mommy knew there wouldn't be another lantern that Wayne would love more than this. And love it, he sure did! He was so proud of the lantern and told me his friends all loved it too (sans the irritating music!). Wayne told me during the celebration, they had switched off the lights and walked around the school with their lanterns. Mommy could imagine how noisy it was if every kid's lantern had the same irritating loop music, haha. No wonder we noticed that the teachers had pasted a scotch tape on Wayne's lantern in a bid to soften the music (Note for next year : lanterns without irritating music please).

The champs were also treated to lots of goodies, it was after all Children's Day! Miss Afiqah, Shen laoshi and Miss Dayah had put in a lot of effort in preparing the goodie bags and colorful cards for the champs.  Mommy especially loves this card, which had a polaroid of Wayne posing by the colorful balloon sculpture at the reception area of his school, looking all smart in his outfit which had a tie.

Happy Children's Day, my little Wayne!
