For my daughters sports day they hare having a nursery Triathlon. The teacher asked me yesterday if I could bring in her wetsuit for the occasion.
I haven't got a clue what she will be doing. The teacher wouldn't tell me she said it was a supprise. She is only 3.5.
They have a pool but she can't acctually swim. I'm starting to get a bit worried!
I know they like to be different but what on earth ????

i have visions of an egg and spoon race followed by a paddling pool dash followed by a million littlies on trikes....

dare you to put fluorescent sun block on her face and give her wraparound sunnies too...

Well as long as non of them get stuck. A lot of them wouldn't fit in it.

Romy7- That sounds great I will definatly be taking the video camera. I like the idea of the sun block and sun glasses.
What on earth will they make the parents do at the end ? Last year I had to do a 3 legged race.

Yes, I think they try to make it different each year. Last year we had MIni Wimbuldon. It always cracks up up and it makes it very memorable.
Last year all the parents had perminent smiles on there faces all day.

It must sound like a megga expensive nursery, but it really isn't. The staff are just nuts! It's fantastic.

Please you have to report back, I was told today my ds 2.5 will be doing an egg and spoon race, but at the moment he is only prepared to do it if he can run in down the blue lane!

Yes I'll let you know how it goes. I'm really looking forward to it.
Good luck to your son, try to prit stick the egg while no one's looking.
