Growing up the first day of school was a BIG DEAL.
Starting in Preschool my dad recorded the first day of school from the minute we woke up, to getting ready, to eating breakfast and to walking out the door.
He did this ALL THE WAY UNTIL COLLEGE...for both my sister and I.
There was a routine which consisted of talking about where we lived (we moved a lot) what school we went to that year, who was our teacher, what grade, what we were wearing (mini fashion show), and most importantly sing a song (which was usually sun rise sun set).
We got used to it. It was the routine and looking back on it a memory we truly cherish.
So much that I MUST continue this tradition with my children.....so here goes....(it's long, but worth it to us to have this memory!)
...and a close up video of his big cheese (he was so excited, and his new ll bean back pack)

What a fun tradition that you are now doing with your kids! I didn't know that your Dad did that on the first day of school each year. You might have to bring some of those to life on the blog :)
