Princess Lollipop is Back to School

Princess Lollipop has been ill since the end of last week and hasn't been in school until today.  Yesterday afternoon she was full of energy, playing normally and apart from a bit of a cough and sniffles perfectly well enough to return to school.  She was overjoyed with the prospect of seeing her beloved teacher and all her friends again, and didn't even complain (much!) about having a bath and her hair dealt with.  She's been so under the weather and dealing with her hair involves either a bath, or soaking her hair while adding hair butter and letting it air dry, that I haven't done anything with it since last week!!  It gets very tangled, very quickly and easily if I don't keep on top of dealing with it, so it was quite bad :-(  Apart from a couple of objections when I encountered a particularly tangled section, Princess Lollipop didn't complain a bit - proving that she is well enough for school :-)

She couldn't wait to get there and we were ready bright and early and waiting for the teacher to open the gate, rather than our usual rush in at the last moment!  She was more than happy to hang up her bag and coat, and go to sit on the carpet.  I told her teacher that I'll be at home if Princess Lollipop does need picking up any earlier, but I don't think I'll get a call :-)
