Fastelavn 2011 - Festivities at the nursery

Egentlig havde jeg mest lyst til, at skåne Arthur for endnu et arrangement i vuggestuen, efter det mislykkede julearrangement, men på den anden side, er det jo vigtigt, at være med...

Derfor havde jeg taget tidligt fri fra arbejde, da vuggestuen i fredags holdt fastelavn, så jeg kunne give ham en overkommelig dag ved at hente ham tidligt.

Arthur ankom i badekåbe og hjemme-(mormor)strikket hue - Klædt ud som yndlingsfiguren Yoda! Han blev sat ved bordet sammen med de andre udklædte børn og jeg vinkede ængsteligt farvel og forsikrede vuggestuen om, at de bare kunne ringe efter mig.

Da jeg tidligt på eftermiddagen hentede Arthur, viste det sig, at han havde haft en fortrinlig dag. Han var i glimrende humør og selvfølgelig fortsat iført badekåbe. Fastelavn havde han dog ikke deltaget i... Da der skulle slås Katten af Tønden og leges lege, havde Arthur forladt stuen til fordel for det tomme rytmikrum... Her havde han så fået en skål popkorn ind :)  

Lidt træt var han dog, da han kom hjem...

Festivities at the nursery

I really felt like sparing Arthur yet another holiday celebration at the nursery after the unsuccessful Christmas party. However, it is important to participate.

Therefore, I had ended my shift at work early this Friday. The nursery was celebrating fastelavn (a Nordic kind of Halloween-ish celebration) and I wanted to make Arthur’s manageable by picking him up early.

Arthur arrived in a bathrobe and a knitted hat – dressed up as his favorite Yoda. He was placed at the table alongside the other children and I nervously waved goodbye and told the nursery to call me if he needed me.

Early in the afternoon, I picked up Arthur and he had had a lovely day. He did not take part in the actual celebration – a noisy game resembling the batting of a piñata – but had made off to a quiet room with a bowl of popcorn.

He was rather tired when we got home, though.
