DS1 survived school trip!

[Tiggles]

After months of worrying DS1 did fantastically on his residential school trip. Ok so he stood and told me all about it looking in the other direction, but hey you can't have everything ;). He joined in all the activities - zip wire, canoeing, gorge walking etc. Apparently it wasn't even him keeping everybody else awake at night!! He ate the food - although one night it was yucky and he had to have salad instead.
Can't believe how relieved I feel now. He can't wait to go again next year :)

fantastic

Brilliant news.

Fantastic - well done LittleMasterGreen.

How did he get on with his socks?

If he's anything like my ds, he'll still be tired a week from now. Mine actually fell asleep in his history lesson yesterday!

Think I have done too well on the sock teaching, he was away 3 days, and appears to have gone through about 12 pairs
Tiredness appears to be hitting in. Finally stopped nattering about it and currently lying down watching Toy Story.

That's brilliant, LittleMissGreen! 12 pairs of socks, eh? So the opposite of moose junior? And they had fantastic weather, too. No sunburn, I hope?

I'm a bit worried about DS2's week long trip. It's the week before half term and I'd foolishly already booked a week in Turkey leaving very early Sat am. He'll get back Fri exhausted and have to get up 5.00am on Sat for a really long journey. Not looking forward to it, meltdowns expected.

That's great glad he enjoyed it!

EllenJane, we had similar last summer, ds2 on speech camp for 4 days, collected him from school and straight to the airport for our summer holiday - second morning I did a social story about the things we might be doing, etc - it really seemed to help - worth a try if your little one finds that type of thing reassuring! Have a lovely time in Turkey, lucky you!!

Sorry for hijack Littlemissgreen - but well done to your ds!

Well done to your Ds, glad he had fun.

You can't beat a good zip wire.

Thanks Helen. Forewarned is always forearmed for DS so I'll try that. we've been there before, so that should help.

Well done Littlemastergreen

12 pairs of socks!

I need you to come round here and teach my ds now.

Well done OP for having the courage to let him go. Having done it with mine, I know how incredibly hard it is to do. Next year mine will have a passport and face a field trip abroad...

My DS2 went for a Mon - Fri trip to the seaside, staying in a chalet, going on the beach, on a boat trip, with 12 others (some with severe LD, and 6 staff on 2 minibuses when he was.................... 4!

After that nothing bothers me!

EllenJane... at 4??? Wow, that is trusting! Hope he gets on ok on the Turkey trip, think you'll be spending all your time asleep on a beach .
Goblinchild, make sure his passport is stuck to him with superglue !
Moosemama I think I have had enough stinky socks to last me a lifetime, lol.

Ok, I l'll let you off. Actually, I wouldn't wish ds1's stinky socks on my worst enemy.
