World Book Day reading for me and my eldest. When they said they wanted to read the Chronicles of Narnia I suggested we skip straight to 🦁🧙‍♀️🚪but they insisted we do them all. I can't wait for this one to be over 🙃

It's PJs at our school tomo for WBD. 4yo says her dinosaur dressing gown isn't acceptable amongst her friends. It would genuinely be less stressful to have to make a last minute character costume 🙃

There's a group of parents at school trying to rally buy in to an agreement to ban smartphones amongst their kids, but do you know what I think is a better idea? A party bag group ban. I'm only half joking.

My school have sent more than 3 communications about this morning's nursery Christmas show but not a single one of them contained all the details, the main one being missing - the time it starts. I'm just a mother, standing in front of a school office begging for brief, clear & efficient comms 😭😫
