This morning our 'do list' was scuppered by the fact that Bright Eyes took himself off to school with his brother and sister at 9.00.

The task was 'drop JJ and Max' off at school and preschool, and he insisted on putting his hat and bag on to do it.

Having dropped off his little brother, he then headed up the path to his classroom. AP said, "Where are you going?" Answer: "I'm going to school." AP:"Do you think we need to tell Mum?" Him: "Nup." And off he went.

His teacher wasn't expecting it. In fact, I don't think anyone was expecting it, but everyone managed. Including me, who now had a completely free morning...
