Now that the school year is well underway, there’s one change in our routine that I’m glad Chris and I made. See, our oldest son is so independent, he had spent 5th and 6th grade getting himself up in the morning and leaving for school before Chris and I even woke up. Chris would leave for work, then I would get up to get Nathan off to school. This year, with Nathan taking the bus for the first time and leaving at the same time as Ryan, Chris and I started taking turns getting up at 6:00 to make sure Nathan eats breakfast before he leaves. If we didn’t, he would sit and stare at the TV until it was time to leave without eating anything!

Did you resolve to do anything differently this school year? Did your kids? How’s it working out so far?
Yes, we all resolved to eat more healthfully. I have some health issues, so it has been very beneficial to me, and my kids seem to be thriving and being much more conscientious about what they eat.

I resolved to get their clothes ready at night. It does not work so well because they change their minds.

We’ve resolved to: me, get her things ready the might before, and she, to keep her room tidy. It hasn’t worked out at all, much to my chagrin. She’s just plain lazy, but I simply forget!
This year I am making the kids wake up by themselves. Usually I would set my alarm clock and wake them up. But now the oldest wakes up and then wake up the rest of the kids. It is working out great!

I planned to make them do their homework as soon as they get home. It has worked well overall.

This year my daughter is taking Rice Bowls for lunch instead of the Lunchables or sandwhiches. She heats them up before she goes to school and packs them in her lunch box! Homemade cookies instead of store bought! Making lunch for an good for her.

We’ve decided to get more involved in our community and volunteer more.
We watch our grandkids while thier parents work. The oldest was in pre-school half days last year so she came at lunchtime. This year we pick her up after kindergarten and the kids have a healthy snack together.
I make sure I buy healthy kid friendly food for her lunch. She does get to buy her lunch one a week. I do worry she is getting enough to drink at school since she is always thirsty when we pick her up.

My kids vowed to do better on their homework. They are doing pretty well with it.
