Kids Sport Day

Our kids’ preschool holds sports day annually, but this year, their school accepted the invitation of participating in a joined sports day with other kindergartens. The event was held at the army base in the city, and there were a total of 7 kindergartens involved.

Since the school had only received the invitation 2 weeks ago, the children had to go for “intensive training”. Justin took part in kiddie football, so he had been practicing hard in the sun for 2 weeks! Besides that, Isabelle was picked as one of the cheerleaders, so she went for rehearsal too.

As for me, I was busy attending 2 grumpy and exhausted kids for 2 weeks! They were very tired everyday, but there wasn’t much we can do to help except encouraging the kids and promised some rewards.

So, this morning, I woke up very early to prepare their bentos, and then busy getting Isabelle ready. I put some makeup on her face and she was so happy about it. LOL! Such a vainpot…

We reached school just in time and the kids boarded the coach and school van immediately. We followed the bus to the destination as hubby was not too sure about its location. As soon as we reached there, the teachers were busy with the kids again.

Isabelle’s tutu, made from plastic bags!

Isabelle was given some touching up.

She’s so happy to have makeup on her face! And the mommy is a bit worried on how to hide her makeup bag from her girl.

After that, the kids got ready for the march in parade.

The excited kor kor in his giraffe cap. LOL!

Each kindergarten has students to hold the school name and their school flags.

Marching in…

I kaypoh and snapped a few photos of other teams too.

The kiddie band from the host. There are a kindergarten and primary school at the army base.

Pretty girls from another school.

Cute costumes from other kindy

Little fairies!

2 cute handsome boys in suits….under the hot sun. LOL!

The host team with their own football jersey!

All the participating schools.

Throughout my school years, I haven’t seen anything as “tai chan cheong” as this.

There were kids passing the fire torch too!!! Just like a mini Olympic. LOL!

After the speeches and opening ceremony, all the kids marched to the sides of the field and the games started.

Of coz, cheerleaders started “working”.

The cheerleaders from the host team was so amazing!

They basically danced from morning until afternoon, with just a short break in between. What a great stamina for girls below 6 years old!

Our kids’ school is not so well prepared for the day. The cheerleaders got tired pretty fast. LOL!

Let’s take a break and makan first!

Here’s the mommy who’s hiding in the shade. I am so BURNT now.

Justin’s waiting for his game, and complained about how dirty his shoes were.

I run I run I run run run…and fill the water very carefully…

Bicycle race

Since there were a lot of children involved, the games dragged quite long hours. By noon, the kids were served lunch and most of them were tired and restless.

The cheerleader almost fell asleep standing with her pom pom. LOL!

The boys played among themselves while waiting for their turns.

 
My gal with her friends.

I lost count of the number of ice-creams she took that day…check out how dirty her white tee is! But then, if she’s not eating, she would be…

 
Falling asleep soon…

Justin still had another game to go, so we couldn’t leave early. He’s been practicing hard for the kiddie football for 2 weeks, so he was eager to go down to the field.

The footballers from the host were amazing, considering that they are all below 6 years old.

There were 3 football matches, and our team was the last to play.

The cheerleaders had to “work” at half time. LOL!

The pro kiddie cheerleaders. I can’t even dance like that at that age.

But before Justin’s team could play, there was a heavy downpour. Thus, the game was delayed. The other teams were still playing in the rain!!! The teachers asked if we would like our kids to play in the rain, and I said no. Hubby wanted Justin to take part in the football, but I disagreed. He was very tired, and it’s way past his nap time. Besides that, he said he’s too sleepy. Thus, the last teams only picked a few kids for penalty kick to decide the score. We left the field by then as both kids were totally worn out.

In short, in was a fun day, but I hate the tan I got! I’m so dark now. Justin also looks like a pure Thai boy after all the training. LOL!

The school principal said the kids were not well prepared for such a big event, so next year, they will train the kids earlier. After their first inter-kindy sports day, they have a better idea how to train the kids. I’m not sure if Justin will still be here for K3, but I surely hope that Isabelle will be picked as cheerleader again.
