Arwen's first camp out!





Well, in theory that is. You saw a cartoon where they went on a camp out in their backyard and suddenly you also want a camp out but you said "we don't have a backyard" and then I said "maybe we can go camping at mak long's house". Mak Long was very sporting and was on board at once when I asked her. You told kakak Iman "I can't go camping in my garden. my garden is full of cars!" Hahahaha

Anyway so on 18 Dec 2012, mama took you, ya, redza, nadiah and adam for a camp out at mak long's house. So we played at the backyard with 2 of your tents. I even let you and Ya fall asleep in the tent. Then I carried Ya into the downstairs bedroom and then when I carried you in, you woke up and had a terrible meltdown! A midnight meltdown! You didn't want to sleep in the house! Everybody was so surprised because they have never seen you throw a tantrum. At 7 years old you could not comprehend why I didn't let you sleep outside like in the cartoon. You cried so loudly for so long and eventually I think at about 3am you settled down but still refused to go into the bedroom. We brought your tent into the house too but you didn't want to sleep in it. So in the end both of us slept on the couch. Then slowly Mama slept on the floor while you were on the couch. In the end Mama had the camp out because I slept on the sleeping bag. Arwen Arwen anak mama. Mengamuk pasal tak dapat tidur luar. Bahaya la sayang. Ada nyamuk. Takut pencuri pun ada juga.

Cousins having fun

Arwen didn't want to join in because she was so sleepy.



Finally fell asleep inside the tent outside the house. Pre-melt down.

Post - melt down.
