last week at school we had a letter to say that on the friday for world book day the children and staff were going to dress up.
ds2 said i'll be mr bean
anyway, i had nothing remotely mr bean like for him and he was making absolutely no effort to even think about what he could dress up in for that or even an alternative.
he's 9 btw
i kind of felt like oh right, here goes the usual, make no effort and mum will wave a magic wand on the day and turn you into mr bean!
anyway i was pretty busy and the night before realised nothing had been sorted, so, dug out an old pirate costume but he wouldn't wear it, and i didn't blame him.
he seemed to think the dressing up was optional and the letter did say that if not dressing up, uniform was required. so, he went in his uniform.
today, i am told that all the kids are coming in to school tomorrow in sports gear for red nose day EXCEPT those that hadn't dressed up last week!
apparently none of the year 6 boys had bothered so, the other kids had voted in assembly for it to be this way tomorrow.
trouble is ds2 is in year 4 and he is the ONLY one not allowed to come in his sports wear.
he is crying and saying the kids will not allow him to play and he doesn't want to go etc etc
