Mom:"Would you like to wear the white shirt with the blue pants or the white shirt with the blue pants?"
Kid: "Sigh!!"
LOL
It also makes laundry easier for me. With a steady stream of foster children (sometimes there are six kids to one mommy) there is lots of laundry and having similar loads is easier.
My kids went to school where uniforms were required. When my son came home to be schooled halfway through 6th grade, I required him to continue wearing uniforms, 1) to instill in him that he was still "in school" and 2) because I had spent a great deal of money on those uniforms and we were gonna get our money's worth!! The habit just stuck. For us, it helps to distinguish school time from home time and the kids like changing into play clothes when done with school. The laundry ease still applies and when we go on field trips, people seem to respect us as a school group.
This year I am hoping to develop a logo for our school. As a back to school gift, this year I am giving each child a new polo shirt with our school initials and mascot name. This simple logo is what I have so far:
I found a seller on E-bay that does 'em (she says the extra stitching won't be on the shirts). It was a bit of a splurge, but the kids have always talked about having shirts with our school name on them. I think they will like them.
