My daughter leaves me with a smile each day. Each day I drop her off at school we have a little ritual. We have the…
“Goodbye Wars”
This just consists of funny good by phrases my daughter has taught me during her year of kindergarten. (Some I knew but many I did not)
- After A While Crocodile
- See Ya Later Alligator
- Bye Bye Butterfly (she knows that is my favorite)
- See Ya Soon Raccoon
- Out the Door Dinosaur
- Take Care Polar Bear
- Blow a Kiss Jellyfish
- Bye Bye Said the Fly
- Stay Sweet Parakeet (another favorite)
They just make me smile as she turns her head and shouts out a good bye and trots into the school! Do you have any morning rituals with your children?






Those are such cute sayings! Some of them I haven’t heard before. I need to start saying these to my grandson!
See ya later alligator, after while crocodile THEN you say:
same place monkey face.
Most of these sayings were also used by my kids
Those are adorable! My son’s preschool teacher reads a book to them at the end of every day with these rhyming goodbyes. It’s so cute! Some of them include: Chop Chop Lollipop, In An Hour Sunflower, Maybe Two Kangaroo – there’s more. If I get the name of the book I’ll be sure to share it.
We aren’t that clever:) But if he forgets to give me a hug and kiss he will coming running back to get one. It makes my hear swell, I hope that lasts forever:)
I know most of these sayings but there were 2 that are new to me and I’m going to start using them also..:)
In our home he fist bump each other and wish us all a Blessed Day!
