Peer pressure, but she's only 3!!!

Yesterday evening, I went home after 7pm, tired and ready for a long bath and sleep
but Maeva was in the mood for dancing and drawing and pretending and ACTION!
Then she told me that her kindy were having a "Welcome Home Party" for her teacher Ellie.
Ellie was in Europe on her Big O.E. and after 2 months, the children are planning to suprise her with a festive day and lots of celebrations.
Maeva piped up "I want to wear my party dress Mom"
Me: "Which one?"

Maeva"The purple and green one"

Me: "But thats a ballerina dress which will be too cold for you to wear!"

Maeva: "Don't worry, I will wear my purple tights with it"

Me: and a warm top because you will get sick

Maeva: No Mum, all the girls are wearing tights, and even some of the boys! I must wear my purple and green dress with tights and no top.

Me: oh, and that reminds me, we have to take snacks too

Maeva: Yes Mom, we have to take cocktail sausages from the shops, coz thats what all the other kids are taking too.

...She's 3 for God's sake, and she's already decided she will conform and wear what the others are wearing, and eat what the others are eating....arghhhh, i don't want my baby to grown up tooo fast...this is toooo fast! I want her to eat what I give her and wear what i give her....argh, stop the time!!!!
