Forgetting!!

Little Prince has just got some new school sweatshirts, so I've taken the nametapes out of his old ones and was about to offer them to school for the uniform storage. The nursery and reception classes keep a stock of uniform just in case the children need to get changed while they are at school - and Little Prince has so far made a lot of use of this resource so far (between paint, mud and water play he often needs to get changed!!). Then it suddenly struck me that we are 'expecting' another child who will also need to wear this school's uniform - so I've put the jumpers away in the 'one day' cupboard full of other things for MeiMei. Isn't it funny how our minds protect ourselves from hurtful things, I've obviously in a lot of ways 'forgotten' that I'm expecting :-( Which is probably good for getting through the wait, but its sad that it has to be like this as I so wanted this waiting time to be an exciting preparation time. But if I let myself get too excited and prepare too much, we could be looking at an unused nursery for years :-( And the let down as each month's referrals fall short of my expectations (they have so far!!) will be huge. So this way is probably for the best.
