A 3yr old wont care theyre the only one in uniform will they?

[Motherofmonsters]

The dreaded uniform error has happened as i misunderstood. We had an email to say as its mental health day they can wear something yellow ie socks, ribbon, tshirt etc. So i sent DS into a school Preschool with his yellow socks. Everyone was wearing full non uniform.

He's a very young 3year old, this wont scar him for the rest of his life will it.

My sons school aren’t doing this but you’ve all given me an excellent excuse as I couldn’t find him any navy socks this morning he went in with bright yellow ones on.

I’m not incompetent, it’s world MH day, excellent!

They'll probably have a dressing up box, and will find home something from their. Though I doubt he will really care.

I have commented to school that having. Non-uniform days within a month (including one with 48 hours notice) has done absolutely nothing for my mental health. Unsurprisingly they have ignored me.

Our school (which has specified green today) has specifically said school uniform to be worn apart from the green item so it isn't necessarily code for non-uniform.

If they'd worded it as 'wear something yellow' I'd read that as a yellow accessory/one item swap to the uniform. If they'd said 'wear yellow' then I'd take it as try and wear all yellow with no uniform.
But don't worry, there's always at least one child in uniform for some reason, and at 3 they'll be completely oblivious!

If he’s anything like my son he won’t even notice. I didn’t read the ‘under the sea’ party memo; and my son was the only one not in fancy dress and pre school and he didn’t even mention it... he’s 4!

He won't notice. By 4 you may have an issue. I once sent my 4yo into nursery having forgotten it was dressing up day. He was so bewildered I cried all the way to work and had to pull myself together. Texted his childminder to let her know he may be upset. She texted me back later saying they'd let him raid the dressing up box and he'd been Spiderman AND a firefighter and was totally fine! I think sometimes we worry more than they do. But the staff see it all the time (NO parent is perfect!) and know how to handle it. Don't worry :)
