229/365 - First Day of School
I now have a big 8th grader and a big 5th grader.
This means two "Advancement" Ceremonies to attend at the end of the school year.
Where does the time go?
Each year, it is getting harder and harder to take their first day of school pictures. But I know in the future, they will be glad I insisted.
Take One:
Take Three or so:
At least they are both smiling!
It's so hard to watch them grow up and send them off for another school year. I shed a tear or two every year I send mine off, and I'll probably be a wreck when my little guy heads off to school too. ;) I still force myself to record a "1st day of school" photo every year, though . . . and I think you're right. They'll appreciated it much more when they get a little older.
Your kids are adorable! And at least you could get yours to look into the camera. I had to improvise this year. lol
Keep taking those first day pics. they grow too fast. I did for my daughter and even have the last day of senior year heading off lol. I used a number of them in her 'life' scrapbook and she rolls her eyes at her clothes, etc but loves them.
