Picture this – Preschool photo day and I have just enough energy to brush Holly’s hair, wipe the breakfast from her face and plonk her into some mostly matching clothes. We then turn up at preschool and I can barely see past the tizzed up hair, pink shiny ribbons and party dresses with lace over the top, not to mention the frilly socks. OMG it was like a fashion parade. I don’t think Holly took much notice, thank goodness, but I felt the pressure and it was awkward to be there.

If this is what it is like the kids are 5 I shudder to think what it is going to be like in 10 years time. I am so looking forward to school next year and UNIFORMS!!
