Book week, is always something I dread. With five at school that means five costumes. Lots of drama and tears. Lots of negotiation on costume choices.
This year was a little easier.
Wendy came for a visit and with a lot of enthusiasm and love sat up to 1.30am and got up at 6 am to complete costumes.
When Wendy visits there are lots of squeals of delight and hugs. She picked the kids up for school on Thursday and was greeted with a chorus of fans chanting "Wendy, Wendy!" She felt like a pop star.
Liam is dressed as Mr Brainfright, Rose as Snow White, Fern as Rapunzel and Lilly as Angelina Ballerina. James had a 'meltdown' and refused to go to school. He doesn't cope well with the noise and excitement of Book Week. He hasn't been well and had a cold most of the week. I get so frustrated with him. I just wish sometimes he could at least pretend to be 'normal'. I love him just as he is but just every now and again it would make life a little easier.

Ah I know that feeling you have about your boy well. But then again, what's so great about being normal anyway? I am so thankful our school didn't do costumes this week!
