Grandma & Grandson

Recently son went for a zoo trip with his childcare centre and Popo came along. My initial idea was to get Papa to come along with us so that we may stay behind after the childcare children had left. However, Papa had to go for a full day course so Popo got to join us instead.

 

 

I rented a scooter for Popo to move around the zoo with us and I rented a stroller for Isaiah, but it ended up that Isaiah wanted to zoom around with her and refused to use the stroller. I would have rented a second scooter if I had known that Isaiah refused to nap. Haiz... I ended up walking around the whole zoo on foot. I was dead tired when I reached home.

 

We actually saw much more animals when we moved around on our own. We were able to read and observe the animals more as compare to the excursions.

 

I like to see them talking to one another and sharing their experience. The moment was priceless.

 

 

It was not easy to bring a senior citzen and a child around the zoo but it was made easy and possible with the rental of the scooter. My role ended up as a facilitator to them both as well. I need to make sure they are well fed, well rested, enjoyed what they saw and well educated about the animals. At the end of the day, I am pleased and enjoyed their reponse and their interaction while they spent their day there.
