Sports Day

Valerie's first Sports Day ever!! We're told to be at the field by 7.00am. Gosh.. we have never woken up this early before. But we're glad we reached there on time.

Then the teacher brought Valerie to the Kids Tent to sit, where... for the first time... we finally saw her best friend... a boy, remember? Yup, we saw him, as described, exactly same small size and height. Seated together and playing together.

When it's finally Valerie's group to run the telematch, the teacher lead the 3 groups out. The Reds, Blues and Yellows. And guess who is her partner, yeap, the boy... Hahaha.. I guessed both Ivan and myself were just thrilled to see her best friend.

Before the telematch started, the rest of the kids were lined up and getting ready. Then, we saw Valerie and the boy, both busy looking down and stepping on the sands. They were really in their own world. Ivan was starting to worry if she would actually run and know what to do!

When the whistle is blown, we saw all the cute little kids running, and running their best. And then we saw Valerie and her best friend holding hands running. Ivan was impressed that his little girl could run pretty fast. :) Alas, the match ended and her group won 2nd place.

Valerie was very happy with her Silver medal, she kept wearing it and showing it to anyone who came to visit us the next few days. That night, we asked her, 'Who is that friend you run with?' For the first time, she answered 'Timothy!'. There we got it.. her best friend's name.
