DS's nursery has been doing a whole topic about colour: colour themed walks, tasting different coloured food, colour mixing etc., and next week they've (we've?) been asked to wear different coloured clothes (usually they're in uniform).
Monday is yellow, Tuesday is blue, etc. On Friday they can wear their favourite colour.
DS is 4. He is built like a prop forward, plays with trains, laughs at poo jokes and likes playing with other little boys. Oh, and his favourite colour is pink.
He hasn't actually got anything pink as it's never that easy to find boys' clothes in that particular shade (except that polo shirt Joules did last season but it was a fortune). He does, however, have an older sister who has a wide array of pink clobber.
I don't have the slightest problem in sending him to nursery in something pink, but I don't think I can actually send him in girls' clothes.
The really sad thing is that he even knows this himself and says 'it's OK mummy, I'll just tell them my favourite colour is orange so they don't laugh at me'.
dammit.
