Rose's first day of kinder
Feb. 2nd, 2010 07:10 amYesterday I spent the day at home (between meetings) so I could go along to Rose's kinder interview. This kinder has an interview so they can make sure the forms get filled out. I'm only a slightly disorganised schmuck, but I like that and I'm sure it works best for a lot of the other families there too.
Rose needs to wear comfortable shoes, and take lunch. What do you put in a lunch box when you can't just make her a peanut butter sandwich? She won't normally each cheese sandwiches, and I refuse to send her there with honey or jam or vegemite. Chocolate spread is also banned. This avoidance of killing some other child who has a nut allergy is very inconvenient!
Weirdly, you're allowed to send muesli bars with nuts in them.
After the interview I decided that she really needs a bigger backpack than the one she has now. So we went to the "variety stores" on Victoria St. I found quite a reasonable bag in orange or red, but it appears that the only bag that Rose will be happy with will be mostly pink and have a picture of a person on it - preferably a princess. That's when I worked out that allowing Rose to choose her new bag wouldn't work.
Oh well, off to play happy families and make breakfast for all my children.
