if its Superman you want, then its Superman you shall have

Tomorrow is the end of term for our kindy & to celebrate the 2 weeks off we are having a party. Kids (& adults, I guess, if you so choose) are allowed to dress up as their favourite "character". When I asked Olivia today what she wanted to dress up as she answered with a resounding "Spiderman". hmmmmmm.
Well that was never going to happen, I wouldnt know where to start & I didnt even know she knew who he was, so I tried to talk her into Koala Lou (her favourite book), a fairy or a ladybird. After vetoing all my fantastic suggestions & a little more thought her counter answer was "Superman". Well that I can sort of think about doing.

So, off to Spotlight we went for red, yellow & blue (which we didnt end up using) fabric & we are now the proud owners of a Superman cape.

I hope she likes it.......



I also finally finished off the "twirly skirt" that I started a little while ago, I know its not very superhero but I am hoping she will agree to wear it with her cape tomorrow..

Now to that little man, this is how he wakes up 9 times out of 10. After a little chat with himself & a giggle he is ready to start his day, or his morning, or his afternoon.

you can still call me Ingrid


Today I was elected as President of the Governing Council at kindy.
I went to the AGM thinking that I might put my hand up for secretary but that was not to be my fate today. When it was suggested (yep thats right I didnt even have to beg) that I be nominated for the Presidents role I could think of no reason other than "I dont want to" to not do it, and I didnt want to seem like I had the same intelligence level as the little ones that we were ultimitely there for.
So for the next year, or until we maybe leave this kindy for another program, I will also answer to El Presidente.
