They were allowed one soft toy each. Choosing one was a big decision for a small child. confused:

The sort that any 10 year old takes when he goes away from home. At the Cub Annual Camp the recommended list provided calls for every boy to take one familiar "bedtime toy" to help counter the homesickness. Every boy turns up with something, some with Teddy Bears, some with their old "Baby Blanket" etc. Minor took his Blue Elephant that he has had since he was in a cot. Last year the only one whose parents had to be summoned to take him home because he cried and cried throughout the first night ~ was the one who didn't take anything.

If the list has come from the organisers of the trip ~ trust them.
If the list has come from the boy that should tell you a lot.

Title: Re: A new countdown
Post by: Snoopy on October 03, 2008, 02:45:28 PM: Well now you know why they suggest it.

The Boy has probably chosen carefully. He wants something that smells of home, reminds him of home but doesn't label him as a sissy. The Elephant was selected for those reasons. Much thought went into it.
