The school of the eldest is having world book day (albeit a week later then the rest of the world as it should have been 3rd March. The reason for delay is understandable if you live in Wales.
If not, then its because 1st March was St Davids Day, and UK Mothers day on the 6 March, it was deemed that the first week of March was already quite busy.
Makes sense really, there's always some national day or event that needs to be recognised in some way. And Spring time, it seems, there are more than at any other time of the year.
So what did our 3 (almost 4) year old go as?
We tried to convince him that his Tigger onesie would be good, but thought going to the toilet would be a bit tricky.
We then considered sending him in his pyjamas, and saying he was one of the lost boys. But after recent news articles regarding parents dropping children off at school and going round supermarkets in their pyjamas, it would become a slippery slope.
The Storm Trooper costume he got from his granddad for Christmas would be good, but unfortunately its not world film day (if there is such a day), and he not actually seen the film anyway, and keeps calling Storm Troopers, Transformers. [sigh]
Eventually we settled on Fireman Sam. OK, its a cartoon, but there is book related merchandise, and we were able to provide evidence of this from his book shelf.
