My twin boys are starting kindergarten in a few short weeks … and I’ve got some angst about it. Considering that I was the mom who cried when they didn’t get into preschool initially (at about 1 1/2 years old), I’m a little surprised at myself.
I think I’ve mentioned that they are going to a language immersion school in the French program. 100% French, all day, every day — starting at Day 1.
So when I saw this, I laughed. I think it’s funny. Do you think it’s funny? I am not sure I’ll wear it out of the house, but I’m pretty sure I have to have it. And I’ll try to focus on the positives of them going to school — you know, that I may not trip over Legos quite as much as I currently do. You try to teach your children to clean up, but those things are sneaky!
Oh, and I’m also suffering over the school’s uniform policy: navy, white and khaki. That is it. Can you say bored out of my skull … and school hasn’t even started?? I was so proud of Twin B when we were ordering uniforms, and — without prompting — he asked why they had to be solids and he couldn’t even wear plaids or stripes. It’s the little things, people.
What’s the silliest thing you’ve bought … to wear?

How awesome about the French! That was my minor (although I still refuse to speak it because I sound like an idiot, and I’ve lost so much already) in college and I just love it. Hence my business name
. My youngest is starting pre-school and I’m wondering what in the world it’s like to have two hours, two times a week without any noise. I think I’ll like it but I’m also panicking more than I ever thought I would! I think I like the craziness around me. They grow so fast!
I would definitely get the shirt
. Good luck in your transition!
Haha, I love this post Traci! And you definitely must have this shirt! So cool too that your boys will be learning French. What an awesome opportunity. Great post.
Wear it to orientation:) You have seen my hot pink toe shoes. Enough said.
I loved my uniform – all 12 years of it. They were pretty hidious but I always loved how people made it their own (the girls really). The skirts were forest green in the fall/spring and then an ugly grey plaid in the winter (with a white Oxford button-down). The girls would wear funky tights (had to be white or green or grey) and fun shoes. Maybe they can get some cool shoes?
I agree with Holly: ACCESSORIZE those boys!!
Also…it’s a yes on the shirt. I’m imagining it with great shoes, skinny jeans, and a fab scarf. Too cool.
The silliest clothes I ever bought…ugly shoes! In high school I had a thing ( a BIG thing) for every ugly man shoe you can imagine. Maybe that’s less silly/fun and more silly/regrettable. Hehe.
Good luck! And look at it this way: they’ll be giving YOU an immersion course in French, too!
We’re entering Pre-K and Kindergarten…I might be in denial. I’m also in the blah blah blalh colors for uniforms–but no school clothes shopping this time.
I can’t imagine all French for my boys. I’m just hoping my son can get his belt back on by himself! The shirt is perfect. You must wear that.
Have a great start to the year! Julie at Simply Savvy
