School Pictures

I always worry when school pictures come home... Cole has been known to turn up his shirt collar, spit in his hand to spike his hair and give those fake smiles. I was worried twice as much this year with Zoe also being in school. It is always hard to know how they are going to react to the photographer and what they are going to do... as we all know how unpredictable children can be especially when they are in someone else's hands. I also had an unusual morning getting Zoe ready for pics because I have never had to worry about how to style the hair and the time it takes to do that. When I was told last Monday that they had their pictures in their backpacks... I was apprehensive to have them pull them out of their bags with the daycare kids here as I didn't know what my reaction would be... but since I could not wait to see them, I told them to take them out... I was amazed!!! I loved both of their pics!! I was and am so proud of them for the being the children that I know they are... loving, caring and ones that listen to their mother (since I coached them for 2 days on how to smile and pose for their pictures). It is also a realization that my children are growing up and becoming their own self (somewhat responsible at times).
