This year
has been packed full of excitement and change. July in particular was an
eventful month with a lot going on with the two
most exciting things happening being Bug leaving nursery at school in
preparation for moving to the reception class at school this September and
Jelly Bean being born.
With
changes happening in school, having a baby in the house and the fact that Bug
is growing up to be a big boy, Bug has recently taken an interest in how we all
go from being babies to children and then grown-ups. With Bug’s interest in
babies at an all-time high he has been talking a lot about when he was a baby
as well as asking about when mummy and daddy were little. Along with asking
about when mummy and daddy were little he has a fascination with looking at
photographs of us when we were little.
With
school at the forefront of his mind as well as loving the photographs of us as
babies he also loves the photographs of us at school.
When I was
in primary school my small rural welsh school did not have a school uniform,
the small group of children at the school simply wore their own clothes. As Bug
has worn a school uniform for well over a year now during his time in the
nursery class at school Bug cannot fathom the fact that I never wore a school
uniform at school. He finds it unreal that I wore my own clothes every day to
school.

He finds
it bizarre that I never had a school uniform – he has even said that not
wearing a school uniform is naughty.
The
questions about why myself and my sister along with the other children never
wore a school uniform are never ending.

But mummy
why didn’t you wear a school uniform everyday apart from dressing up days for
your favourite book?

Did you
wear a school uniform for school parties instead of dressing up like I do?
Have you
ever had a school uniform?
Pictures
of me wearing a school uniform when I was in secondary school (me on the left below) seem to appease
Bug’s insistence that school means you SHOULD wear a school uniform.

As I never
had a school uniform when I was in primary school Bug thinks that if I went
back to school I would most definitely have to have a school uniform so I am
like him and his friends at school, so he set about creating a school uniform
for me.

Debenhams Girl's red peplum school cardigan – because red is my favourite colour and you would
look pretty in it.
Debenhams Pack of two girl's grey bootcut school trousers – grey trousers just I have for
school but girl’s grey trousers mum.

Star by Julien Macdonald Designer girl's black faux fur collar padded coat – you’ve
got to have a coat mum for cold days so you don’t get ill.
Debenhams Girl's black leather mary jane school shoes – some shoes with a flower for you mum

Disney Frozen Blue girl's 'Disney's Frozen' heart backpack – because you like
Frozen don’t you mummy like me and my friends?
With Bug's help I know if I did go back to school I would look the part.
