Only a week ago we received a letter from BB's nursery which came as a bit of a blow. His utterly lovely and well thought of teacher Claire was heading to pastures new.... In two weeks time!
Now there is no blame felt for her with this decision as she has been through a lot in the past year, and needs to make the move for her health - but personally I was pretty upset. It is because I feel so comfortable leaving our very impressionable eldest in her care that the nursery run has never been a cause for concern. I was also worried about how BB would take the news.....
......surprisingly well as it turned out! BFS sat him down and explained to him that Claire was moving to another nursery and that another lady would be his teacher after she left. His response? I like the other lady better anyway!!!
A week down the line, and only a few days before the departure of his current teacher he informed me that he was going to miss Claire a lot. I asked which he preferred, and he replied 'Claire - she's pretty!' I asked if she was as pretty as Izzy (his 'girlfriend') and he said she was a bit prettier than Iz (a compliment of the highest order). I then asked if he thought his new teacher was pretty too (she's about double Claire's age) and his reply?
No - she's got curly hair like LL!
I enquired if he thought I was pretty (since I have curly hair too) and was put in my place when told - 'only when your hair is straight mummy!'
Let's just hope the keratin treatment which, newly preened from the hairdresser, mummy is sporting holds out!
