Younger children at sports day?

[Hardknocks]

Basically just a question because I have no idea. DD is 2 and is looked after by grandparents on a Monday, it’s nephews sports day next Monday who is 3.5 and they want to take her along to it. She’s the type that’s going to run around and want to get into things - I said I will keep her at home with me that day, but they are adamant they want to take her along.

Is she going to be a massive pain in the backside/get in the way or are there a lot of younger siblings at these type of things?

i think they're silly to take her to be honest,

i had no choice but to take my youngest daughter to my 4 year old daughters last week, there was 3 little ones there, one boy was a bit of menace his poor dad was chasing him around and missed pretty much everything, kept trying to sit with the nursery kids on the other end of the field, my daughter was in the pram with a couple of biscuits happy as Larry, she will be 2 in September.

My 4 year old will also sit in a pram if I want her too, get chest straps from Amazon they make it very difficult for them to escape, they're about £5

I think saying "she won't be confined to a pram" is a bit silly, trying to say this in a nice way OP but you're her mum and if you put her in the pram then she needs to sit in it. Its not always safe to have them wandering about.

Love your update OP!

Perfect parent alert! My DD2 is incredibly strong-willed. We could physically restrain her in a pram of course but she will scream her head off if she isn’t happy about something. I’m sure the rest of the spectators will be fine with her making sure everyone knows how hacked off she is. Alternatively, it’s much more pleasant for everyone if we don’t force her into a pram unnecessarily and let her roam (safely).
