Caleb and Shermaine

Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 2 July 2007 in People & Portrait.

So i was saying yesterday that Shermaine is a new friend that Caleb made on our first Punggol Park walk.

After the first ice was broken,Shermaine acted like a big sister and held Caleb's hands and led him step by step to play the slide.This is a picture of them ready to go down the slide.

Everything was quite pleasant until Shermaine and Caleb fell from the stairs leading to the slide. Neither Shermaine's helper nor me noticed what led to the fall at the split second. All i saw was Shermaine was on top of Caleb,Caleb in shock and Shermaine crying. She ran to her helper and started pointing at Caleb.

Oh dear,i was thinking,did Caleb pull her down?Or was she maligning Caleb?(haha,every child is angel in the mother's eyes)I have never seen Caleb bully anyone either.But i thought maybe i should just get Caleb to apologize, no matter what. So thats what we did. Shermaine was nice about it and said its ok. Hopefully their friendship was not affected after the fall. They say children don't bear grudges,let's hope they will still play together if they do meet again:)

Love the angle here tyan. Great job! The park is such a wonderful place for kids! Sorry to hear about Caleb falling down, hope he is ok. He doesn't look like the "bully" type. Cheers!

p.s. you refer to these comments as "haunts" - man, I hope it's not scaring you or Law. Keshia actually enjoys looking at pictures of "friends" that she's never met before...can't imagine what life will be when the likes of Keshia and Caleb grows up with all this virtual stuff. Blessings...

@{H} creatives: yeah,so far Caleb is always the victim when it comes to bullying..like we go the beaach and some older children will come and start playing with his toys and leaving him out etc.

haha,please don take offence i used the word haunt..i feel very privileged that you visit my blog daily and that Keshia likes to look at Ian's pictures!Thanks again!:)
