Dressing Up

Our theme for this month is Dressing Up, that is for Correspondence Kindy. Anika just loves it. An age and stage thing or maybe a life pattern being set in place.


She has been to outer space with a wee basket on her head tied on with a scarf - we have been waitresses and customers in a cafe with a scarf tied in different ways to show different customers - she has been a netball player, a chef baking lolly cake and chocolate chippie biscuits, a cat with a scarve tucked in for a tail, and of course a ballerina.

I have been dressing up too and boy has it taken a lot of working out. I am training for a wee triathlon. I need a goal to start getting my body back after my years bearing and nurturing babies. (I know it's not that many !!) Training is scarce and casual but as the day nears it's working how to 'dress up'. Togs under bike pants rolled down - firm bra (not a maternity bra ...yay) ... another crop top (hold in the floppy boobs !!) a singlet top - to excentuate the rolls ... yuk ... cap for the run, bike helmet for the bike, goggles for the swim ... my cross trainers ... maybe 10yrs old now and socks
.
I can see why people don't 'race' into doing these sorts of things - so glad to have my mate Shari to talk it over with - have a practice run with - borrowed a bike from her - she looked after my babe while I trained once - it takes a lot of confidence to even think of attacking something like this .... or stupdity .... or maybe a love of dressing up.
