| The Lego thing is weird, but that first-day of school/FTM bloom will wear off at some point. |

Why are you all being so mean? Nasty, miserable bitches on here, I swear.
My ds took the bus home, but yeah, I was happy to see him when he got home. I made his favorite dinner & dessert. I think the mom with the lego is very sweet and thoughtful, and I wouldn't judge her no matter what age her kid is. But for those judging her and assuming he's in grade 6, she said it was in his CARSEAT. |

^^^LOL!!!
First day is a big deal and worth making a little fuss over. There aren't THAT many of them we can help our kids enjoy and feel special about. Rock on, OP and Lego-Mom!

Bah Humbug to all the cranky PPs! 
I'm OP and yes I'm a FTM. Maybe the first day of school excitement will fade as the years go on but I love parenting and hope that any new milestone in my child's life remains an exciting or beautiful moment for our family. Not every day is about her, and no the world doesn't revolve around her, but there are some days where things are about a particular person and today was about a new phase of her life. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who thought today was a little special and not just an ordinary Tuesday. |

| i think children these days are an entitled, obnoxious bunch (mine included) but i admit i also bought a toy after the first day. i didn't miss her or have butterflies but i was worried about her adjustment to a new school and wanted to make her smile. |

Wow, the sarcasm in this response seems so joyless. Our family celebrates minor milestones and transitions with either dinner out, ice cream, or a small dollar store "gag gift" type gift. We've done this for everything from DH getting a new position at work (same company, different job. Happens frequently.), to first/last days of school, to a minor move, to the kids moving up a level in one of their extracurriculars. Maybe our family just likes to find excuses to celebrate, but I guess I don't see what's wrong with marking things that are likely at least somewhat significant in the short term of your kids' or family's life. |

Sorry, didn't mean to put a damper on your celebration of mediocrity. |

Late to this thread and haven't read the previous page of, I'm guessing, snark.
I usually make homemade chocolate chip cookies on their first day of school for them to enjoy when they return and tell me all about it. Unfortunately, I was too worn out from some health stresses this year, so I bought them lemon squares instead. I hope to return to the homemade cookies next year! |

PP do you celebrate your birthday? I mean it is kind of pedestrian, no? Everybody has a birthday and you have one every year. What makes that day so special? I am so sick of you Debbie and Danny Downers. There is nothing wrong with celebrating the small things. My son started K this week and it made me think that this is just day one of many. 13 years of school mornings ahead but this was the first (I don't count pre-k). I think that is something to celebrate. And next year the first day of 1st grade will be celebrated as well. |
