    I just had this same discussion with my soon-to-be 3rd grade son.

    We all know the first day of school is a fashion show sponsored by Mothers…

    After that, it’s all about not missing the school bus and not forgetting the lunch. Having matching socks at that point would just be a bonus… :-)

    But first impressions carry great weight. Plus that’s half the fun of starting school – everything is new! I still consider the beginning of school (more than Jan 1) to be the start of a new year.

    I never thought about school clothes for my son- he has loads of clothes already in his size for hot weather. But his supplies, he is not to touch. Let his teacher try to keep the markers from being left open and drying out.

    haha, I remember feeling the same way! I always wanted to use my new stuff as soon as I got it.

    … actually I haven’t changed all that much. I still get excited about new school stuff, and I’m a senior in college. lol
