By the middle of the school year I had nothing left in my closet for such emergencies and had resorted to buying clothes myself.

I have the perfect thing for you to change into.\"\r\n\r\nSchool isn't just about academics, especially at age 4 and 5. Children are learning to exist somewhere other than home with Mom and Dad.
