@thewench_ Ohhhh gawwwwwd. I’m not surprised!

[Mrs P. @ArmyWagBlog]

Overheard in the school drop off queue… a dad to his five-year-old: “you don’t want those, they are for girls”. MAAAAATE. This is where it starts.

[Mrs P. @ArmyWagBlog]

@thewench_ That is sad!

[Mrs P. @ArmyWagBlog]

@thewench_ It’s just so ridiculous - and those kids just pass that negativity on to other kids. Instead of just being free to enjoy whatever they want to.

[Mrs P. @ArmyWagBlog]

@mrsmandyash This kid has been to our house & told us that an Elsa soft toy was a “girl’s toy” (now I know where he gets it from) thankfully J didn’t drop a beat and told him “Elsa is for everyone”. But there’ll come a time, probably soon, when it will be far easier for him to not do that.

I disapproved so hard I broke my own twitter ban to rant about it.

[Mrs P. @ArmyWagBlog]

Although everything else is going wrong this morning, I did manage to vote. And give a politics lesson to my 4-yr-old in the process. He says voting “is so much fun!” - he *might* be exaggerating, but go to your polling station today and see if he’s right!

Bought a new top at @FatFace in Paddington - apparently I was the third that day. They’ve cornered the market in fixing commuter spillages!

White shirt + Coffee. Said white shirt did not even make it to the office unscathed. Was giving off strong “actual grown up” vibes today too.

@MattBombHead The pic is at least 5 years old, I couldn’t even find it on a scroll through my media! So odd!

[Mrs P. @ArmyWagBlog]

I’ve just seen a photo I took of a pile of blueys YEARS ago crop up on some random Twitter thread and I am so confused.

[Mrs P. @ArmyWagBlog]

@MattBombHead I’m not sure I could even find it again

[Mrs P. @ArmyWagBlog]

I’m having serious outdoor gear envy watching the #WinterOlympics2022 opening ceremony. Lots of very strong duvet coat and beanie combos, all good school run looks!

[Mrs P. @ArmyWagBlog]

I’ve not been anywhere really, just got a bit drained by Covid chat mostly. But I am now dipping my toe back in because I did miss you all very much.

[Mrs P. @ArmyWagBlog]

I’m equal parts excited and terrified.

[Mrs P. @ArmyWagBlog]

I’m going “out out” tonight for the first time in almost a year. I gather tracksuit bottoms are not acceptable? What?

[Mrs P. @ArmyWagBlog]

@ALouise1106 Yeah, you can get lost in the gap between “mashed broccoli” and full on dinners! But you can give them dinner etc from very early on - even what you’re eating as long as there’s no salt, sugar etc. They are really just tasting it! X
