Why do I feel obliged to be SuperMum?

[marthamoo]

It's World Book Week, or Day, or somesuch, apparently. So ds2 is to go to nursery either with his favourite book, with a 'prop' from his favourite book or as a character from his favourite book. I overheard one of the Mums say to another this morning "oh he's bringing his Power Ranger book" and her friend replied "yeah, we'll bring a Spiderman album..."

So why am I slaving over a pair of fairy wings, lovingly transforming them with much PVA and multi-coloured scraps of tissue paper, so he can go as the butterfly from The Very Hungry Caterpillar?

He did wear them today, bless him (and his feelers - which he calls "levers" - Alice band, pipecleaners and pompoms). He looked fab and when he went in he said "I am the beeoootiful butterfly from the Very Hungry Caterpillar" which made it all worthwhile
Very tempted to post a photo.

oh do! do!

Well, if I can get dh to resize it - and for a limited period only. Hang on.

Sounds sooo cute, moo. Hope dh can resize the photo...

Tis done.

Just seen them - truly Awesome
