School's drive to promote independence all very well but...

[MegaLegs]

DS1 and DS2 have, between them, lost three sweatshirts, a tie and a pair of PE shorts already and we are only three weeks in!

The infant classes are being encouraged to go into the cloakroom without parents to sort out their own stuff. I suppose they'll get there eventually but in the meantime, when your kids get home, check their name tapes have they got my boys' sweatshirts??

Dos on eof them have the initials 'CG'?? If yes, his sweatshirt is hanging over the after school club sandwich board!!

WHAT???? That was meant to be 'does one of them...'

ha ha, my DD came home in a boy's sweatshirt the other day, DH didn't even notice unitl I pointed out it was almost to her knees! She's the smallest child in her class and she was wearing the biggest boy's jumper! I was laughing to myself imagingin his mother's face when he went home in a skin tight, 3/4 sleeve jumper...

At the end of last term DS2 had a pair of white socks with lacey frill in his PE bag, caught him wearing them at bathtime, he looked quite pretty!
