After buying all the required pencils, pens, and so forth for school, it is time to label absolutely everything. It feels a bit ridiculous, but every single item needs my son's name on it.
While shopping for said pencils, pens, and so forth, we also picked up a stamp that can be customized using letter stamps to make the name. We grabbed some rub on labels as well. In case we didn't have enough things to use to affix his name to various items, we already had a labeling machine at home.
Once home, we got busy attaching labels and stamping as requested. Pen cases, erasers, and even gym clothes were all properly labeled.
We are now officially one step closer to elementary school.
In 2017 my family headed to Tokyo. My husband had a new job and my son and I came along for the ride. This move was my second move to Japan - the first was for a year in 2002. At that time I was a single, recent college graduate. Moving abroad as a family was a whole different ball of wax. As I live this crazy life in Japan, I track our adventures and my observations, creating an unofficial guidebook to the city.
