5 out of 5

Sofia has always been a very physical and active girl since young. She does not mind getting all dirty, sweaty and hot under the sun. I remembered Sofia joining the school for a field trip to the elephant sanctuary at the age of two, with teachers she barely knew. Yes, I was worried too but I knew she was in safe hands. It was a full day trip and the bus ride was about two hours each way.

Sofia came back from the trip tired but very very happy, they saw lots of animals at the sanctuary other than the elephants. Her principal, Julie, later confessed to me that she was actually rather worried when I signed Sofia up for the field trip. Sofia was the youngest in the group and the teachers are from Subang, so she practically knew no one. But Julie said Sofia was extremely well behaved and cooperative throughout the trip. There were no complains about being sweaty and hot or crying to go home. Julie was very very surprised. I guess so as long as there are animals around, it is more than enough to keep Sofia occupied.

We had just gotten the mid-year report for Sofia before the holidays and she had FULL marks for PE (physical education). Though it wears us down at times, we are thankful to God she is such a "energy" babe, growing up physical strong and healthy.
