Back To School

So I am beyond excited that starting next Tuesday Schuyler gets to go back to school ... first of all it has kicked our asses into gear to ditch the pull-ups ... she has been wearing big girl underwear exclusively since Monday morning ... we have had 2 accidents ... and a poop in the underwear but otherwise she is doing awesome ... even underwear to bed ... she said she is done with pull-ups ...

And on a side note I have to say ... Pull-ups are a crock ... they are just more expensive diapers that come in smaller packages ... maybe they work for some kids but for my kid she didn't treat it as underwear at all ... they were just diapers she could put on standing up ... I don't think we will be using them the next time ... it will be sink or swim when it is potty training time ... go right to the big boy underwear ...

So back to my original thought ... because she is going back in the 3 year old room ... potty training was a must ... which means I need to send a whole bunch of extra underwear and clothes to school with her ... so we are prepared for anything that might happen ... I logged online to order labels for her stuff (I was always bad about that in the past and you might remember how we lost her favorite hat) so this time I want to label everything ... but it takes about 3 weeks for the cute iron on labels to put in clothes ... and I don't really want to just write in them ... I mean where is the cuteness in that ... hahahaaaa ...

So I am going to attempt to make my own ... and I think it will work ... I found a whole bunch of those iron on sheets that you can print in your computer (in reverse ... keep reminding myself in reverse) ... then iron them onto your clothes ... so I figure I could design a bunch of cute ones with her name on them and even pictures of her favorite stuff ... butterflies and flowers and what not ... and then iron them into her underwear and clothes and towels ... sounds like a cheap and easy solution to the tracking clothing right?

And I think we are going to make some shrinky dinks tags for her bag ... should be fun ... I love Shrinky Dinks ... unless of course I am out of time ... then it gets one of the many luggage tags laying around this house ...

So as my time at home gets shorter and shorter ... my list of things to do gets longer and longer ... maybe I should get off this computer and get to work ... I have mountains of kids clothes to sort and put away ...
