So, even if it goes horribly wrong, he won't remember. haha! My point is; make the best out of it.Mandie Hamrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04337312786078016135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-44858880520560667162011-07-27T12:32:47.708-04:002011-07-27T12:32:47.708-04:00As a veteran mom (old), as well as an educator, he...As a veteran mom (old), as well as an educator, here are some of my recommendations: <br />1. Make sure he knows how to take care of personal hygiene.<br />2. It would be really good if he knows how to snap and zip his pants by himself.<br />3. Winter coat zipping is a valuable skill. It is overwhelming to try to zip 150 winter coats in time for everyone to have recess. I have actually told kids to go home and practice. <br />4. Putting on gloves or mittens is just as valuable!<br />5. On the flip side of the coat and mitten thing, I think a kid needs to know that if he needs help, ask a grown-up.<br />6. If possible, let Caleb help pick out some of his school supplies. When my children were little, I bought double glue, crayons, etc., to have a set at home in case assignments needed to be completed at home, or just for times when the need to be creative was overwhelming. <br />7. That first day? Give him a hug, and get out of the building ASAP...with a smile on your face, even if it is forced. You will both have a better day!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449747893857688210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-25657218736506801642011-07-27T12:12:53.008-04:002011-07-27T12:12:53.008-04:00Years ago, when Alli started kindergarten, she was...Years ago, when Alli started kindergarten, she was excited, I was apprehensive...of course the first day of school was a little tearful for me. When we went to pick her up, she WOULD NOT LEAVE!! I mean hiding in the closet kind of protest. She didn't get to do all the things she wanted to do, including going down the slide and gave me a look of, "not you again, already" :) Gave me a good laugh. <br /><br />He will be fine, and you will shed a tear, then everyone will get it out of their system. Hang in there, and cherish every moment!Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05103970599447700302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-9271453234745877872011-07-27T12:04:00.271-04:002011-07-27T12:04:00.271-04:00Jill, I truly believe it's harder on Mom than ...Jill, I truly believe it's harder on Mom than the kids!
