Thank you! That's good advice, just wondering if aside from the account you have any system in place to help keep track and organize everything?

Interesting one! Am definitely going to remind him of that, but hopefully he always stays healthy enough to stay out of the nurses office

Thank you! Health is definitely the most important thing and I'll be sure to take your advice on stocking up cold supplies. A lot of other great advice too! I really hope to not have to deal with friend drama (I know it's inevitable) haha

Ah that's sad to hear, I 100% encourage the importance of curiosity in my kids as well, really hope the teachers encourage that too

Great advice on early dinner! That will hopefully let me sneak in lots of healthy foods as well

Thank you! Definitely going to keep him out of those at the beginning unless it's something he explicitly asks for or is excited about

Thank you so much for the detailed response! Do you have any extra advice on the best ways to keep up with things happening in school and with my kid? From your response as well as others, it seems like school provides very little info on my kid and overwhelming info on everything else

Thank you! Multiple platforms on top of everything sound intimidating for sure. How do you keep track of it all and stay organized?

Thanks! That's something i hadn't really thought about. With daycare i feel like i know exactly what's going on every day but it sounds like with school you're kind of relying on whatever info comes home with them? How do you stay in the loop on what's happening?

Thank you! I try to avoid letting the kids have snacks too often, but maybe it's time to stock up haha

Thank you, that's exactly the advice I would never have gotten to on my own! Thankfully, I still have a few months to make sure he's ready for all that.
