I just finished reviewing my daughter's Back-to-School Supply List. While I'm relieved that the 1st Grade list is shorter than last year's Kindergarten List, I'm still perplexed at a few of the required items. Like, I've never heard of a book sock! Do they not hand out premade book covers anymore (for free I might add)!!!
All jokes and kidding aside, I love this time of year! Even before my husband & I had our first child, I loved walking through the School Supply displays. I love the smell of new crayons, I love all those fun folders and I so very much wished that I had a reason to buy glue and rulers! So now, I have a real reason to go to that section in Target!!!
Jordan (our 6 year old) and I were talking the other day about the new adventures she would soon encounter in First Grade. We both got a light in our eyes as we discussed the new supplies that we would be purchasing this week. We went down the list... everything from "pointed crayons" (her words) to a possible new backpack, to hoping we could find markers that had pink & gray. It really was a fun conversation!
THEN IT HAPPENED....
Well, that was 2 years ago! Fast forward to our current conversation... As we got to the end of the list, Jordan asked me this...
"Mommy, can I still take a kiss in my pocket
to First Grade?"
to First Grade?"
It truly melted my heart! No matter how big she gets - she's still my little girl - with a kiss in her pocket!
What "extra little thing" do you add
to your School Supply List
that makes your kid feel special?
