DD2 started a new in-home nursery school recently (childminders in big house with multiple minders). I just dropped her off. On the way out I realised she had taken her hairclip that keeps her fringe out of her eyes, off, so I asked her to go and get it for me.
I dropped her off at the childminders' and as she turned around I noticed it wasn't in her hair. I didn't want the woman to think I was neglectful so I genuinely said "Oh no, she took her hairclip out before we left the house but I've forgotten to put it back in". I walked home trying to remember what happened between DD going to get the hairclip and us leaving the house, but like most small details of being a toddler mum, my mind was blank.
I've just gotten home, walked past a mirror and the tiny bright pastel plastic thing is clipped into the front of MY hair and I would have been telling this woman the whole time that poor DD had no hair clip with it so obviously attached to my head!
Hope that brightens up a few afternoons!
