“It goes by so fast.”  

Since the time I had my first baby, I've heard this ever-popular adage. Complete strangers at the grocery store, grandparents at the park, other moms at the doctor’s office or fellow pedestrians on a stroll—they are all apt to offer the same piece of advice, and I imagine you’ve heard it too: “Enjoy this time, it goes by so fast.”

Expectations are a tricky thing. The beginning of the school year brings a fresh start and lots of expectations. Beginning of the year parent teacher conferences are an invaluable time to communicate and get on the same page regarding your child and the school year. As you prepare for this brief time together, the most important thing to remember is that attending a parent teacher conference is really the most important thing.

They’re back. More than a week ago, you sent your precious child off to camp with neatly packed luggage, extras shirts and shorts just in case, some snacks and maybe even a smile.  A few days ago the bus doors opened and they looked . . . well . . . rough. Their hair wasn't combed. Half their clothes are missing and the half is covered in Jell-O. They look exhausted and reek of a distinct combination of body odor and Doritos. It’s enough to make you wonder, “What happened there?!” The best answer is...a lot.
