My kids are starting to be like their mother and father, they too like their sleep. I decided this year since we were going to have two in school that I needed to come up with some things to help keep us organized, so this is one thing that I came up with...
I went to Target and purchased two of these 6-shelf closet organizers, one for each boy in school. I then labeled them. The top one is for the current sport, which happens to be soccer at moment.
I printed the labels out on my computer and then laminated them. On a side note-LOVE my laminator and highly recommend getting one. Found mine at amazon.com on sale. Since I used this clips I can easily change my labels. So, when basketball starts in December I will change my soccer label to basketball.
I then labeled the remaining 5 shelves with the days of the week...
In the soccer shelf I have the boys keep their soccer shorts, jerseys, soccer socks, shin guards, and under-armor. Then on Sunday evenings before going to bed the boys and I check the weather...will they need shorts or pants. Next we look at their school schedule...which day this week is gym? Have to make sure they wear gym appropriate clothes that day. Then we go through and pick out outfits for the whole week and put them in the right shelf. I am sure that they put in socks, under shirts, underwear...EVERYTHING!
Then every morning when they wake up they can make their bed, brush their teeth, get dressed, and then come down stairs. I don't have to do a thing. I don't have to tell anyone to go change because they don't match or change because they can't WEAR that to school!
This is a HUGE help to our more routine. What is helpful to yours?
