Should I say something?

[Dottydot]

Ds1's reception class is having an open assembly this Friday - the first one - and the theme is Mummies. They've all painted a picture of their Mummy and they're going to go up, show the picture and say why they love their Mummy. Ds1's got a sentence in his head for both dp (his biological mum) and me (he apparently loves me because I give him lots of treats..! ), but he just told me that his teacher said he could only paint one Mummy, so he's painted dp.

Now I'm not sure if I believe him - it might be that he only wants to do one picture so he's like everyone else - and that's fine - whatever makes him feel OK, but would you check it out with the teacher? I just wouldn't like to think she'd restricted it (am I sounding bonkers though?!).

Thoughts please...

Awww - it was a lovely assembly!

Ds1 did indeed hold both pictures up, and was given two bunches of daffodils to give to us. The only thing was that he only said one sentence - about why he loved dp. Afterwards (we didn't ask him 'cos he'd done sooo well and we didn't want to upset him), he told us that he felt he couldn't say the other sentence because it would have been like the drawings - they hadn't wanted him to do two. So we both felt sad for him that on that stage in front of all those people (it was a full assembly plus parents of the reception children, and the reception children themselves were sat up on the stage!), he felt like he had to make a decision on only saying 1 thing. Bless him...

he sounds like such a sweetie!!

glad you enjoyed the assembly

It and he sound lovely. Shame he felt he couldn't say both. Never mind, my bet is next year he'll steal the show with a double tribute.
