One day last week, just before home time, lo (aged 3) decided that his dad was going to make me a present. As soon as his dad knocked at the door lo went running to him saying "dad, you've got to make M a present!" Poor dad looked horrified and I laughed, saying not to worry he didn't have to. I explained what had happened, but dad decided he & lo would go home and make cakes.
Next day lo turned up with a box of cupcakes to share with everyone :thumbsup:
Since then the children have all decided they have to bring cakes! One 4yr old had a meltdown telling me her mum didn't know any cake recipes, only biscuit ones (I did say biscuits would be OK ;)) We've now had 3 lots of cakes brought in - all getting fancier, all more impressive. I have this image of parents going home fretting about how they can out-do the other parents :laughing: It reminds me of when we used to bring the class teddy home and had to come up with some adventure that was more exciting than anyone else's :D
