Every time Little Nutter gets into a mess at nursery they put a ‘spare outfit’ on him and send his own clothes home in a bag. I like this arrangement because it means I don’t have send him to nursery with spare clothes.

Three times a week he comes home with borrowed kit on and a small blue plastic bag he can hang off his ear.

After a week or so we have a large-ish pile of these borrowed clothes next to the washing machine, so in the morning we fold them up and give them to Little Madam to carry into nursery.

Little Madam carefully carries these clothes and gives them to the nurse in charge of Little Nutter’s class.

Little Nutter watches her closely and thinks, “Oh, today’s the day we give our clothes to Chrissy,” and he strips and hands over his clothes.
