As we begin the kindergarten year, our newest battle seems to be clothes (actually we've been fighting that battle since 3 year old pre-k) it comes down to "you can't wear a dress/skirt every day and you're going to have to wear PE shoes. "
As a teacher, I have a hard enough time remembering which special I have which day, let alone keeping track of her schedule too, so we made a note and taped it near her closet that says which days and states no skirts no dresses, voilĂ , now there will be no argument since she will at least comply with written rules....I wonder how much longer that will work? Hee hee! Oh, well!
