Dutch Day

Last Tuesday at the little man’s day care they had to wear something orange to celebrate the Dutch Queen’s birthday.  I’m guessing there must be a few Dutch children in the centre for this to occur as seemed a bit odd to be but hey we have one orange t-shirt so that went on over the top of a white long sleeve t-shirt top. 

When I picked him up he was outside happily playing but was told by three staff members what a shocker of a day he’d had.  He had wet himself three times, very odd as he has been toilet trained for a while now and very out of character for him but he seemed happy so had a little word to him about not doing it in future.

Whilst getting his belongings’ together and the numerous bags of wet clothing I had to take home and launder he pulled out a crown he had made in honour of the Queen’s birthday.  He promptly placed this on his head and bowed to me!! So cute!!  I then had to bow to him and say “happy birthday to you Queen.”  He then told me about his day on the way to the car and that he had also been bitten by one of the other girls on his hand – got to love the full impression of all teeth on your child’s hand.

As he had enjoyed his day so much he was lucky enough to have a banana ice cream for dessert, not a reward for the toilet wetting I assure you!

Here he is with his crown on and the ice cream.
