I know this sounds dumb but I'm genuinely proud. Every Friday for 9 months I remembered to send something with my kid. Only forgot once and had to run home during lunch. Most organized I've been since before kids existed honestly.
This is actually huge. Show and tell every week means your kid knows you've got their back. That's the stuff they remember when they're older.
This doesn't sound dumb at all. Consistency over 9 months is actually impressive. Show and tell rotation is one of those things that sounds easy until you have to actually remember it every single week. Respect.
I forgot show and tell twice last year and my 7yo still brings it up. You're winning by just staying consistent. The kids notice and remember this stuff way more than we think they do.
What's your system for remembering? I need to know because I'm terrible at this. Do you use a calendar reminder or what?
to join the conversation.
Dude, that's not dumb at all! I'm 4 months in and barely remembering to feed myself, so the fact you kept that streak going for 9 months straight is seriously impressive. Your kid is gonna remember that consistency.
