Do you have first day of school traditions? Some years I have been way better about this than others. Last year was discombobulated because Sam was on a roof with Jim when the other two kids started school, then we took a 2 week trip to NV in the middle of September, and started in again when we got home. This year may be similar since we are currently on vacation and may not have all four kids there to start on the same day when we get back, depending on Jim’s work.
But at least for many years, I would take first day of school pictures, measure the kids’ height to see how much they’d grown in a year, make a special breakfast, etc. It didn’t always mean our first day got off to a good start, but at least I tried! 😉
