What Kind of Mom Overlooks the First Day of School Photos?

Ah, the glorious peace of no one chattering incessantly about exploding volcanoes, magic portals, or mystical realms. The much-anticipated back-to-school season has arrived! As much as I griped about being cooped up with my kids for weeks, the final days of summer turned out to be quite delightful.

To be honest, I was as surprised as anyone else. Who knew I could actually savor time spent with my little ones? They’ve transformed into some pretty entertaining individuals, and, miraculously, they weren’t overly bothersome. On that first day of school, I felt an unusual sense of calm and confidence.

Armed with a checklist of school supplies, stylish new outfits, fresh backpacks, lunchboxes, and the correct gym gear, I managed to get everyone, myself included, ready on time. For perhaps the first time in my parenting journey, I felt accomplished and in control. That is until I stepped outside onto the porch, where my moment of triumph quickly crumbled.

As I gazed out, I saw the neighborhood bustling with families making their way to school—early, of course. Meanwhile, my neighbor was capturing stunning first-day photos on her front lawn. Oh no, I thought, standing frozen on the porch. I completely forgot to take pictures!

It’s not as if my kids were new to school; they’ve been going for years now. How many first-day photos do we really need? But then I remembered—good parents are always outdoing me, and I just couldn’t let that happen this year. Sadly, I had already locked the door with my phone inside, and I didn’t want to mess up my perfect timing.

As my mind raced for a solution, a lightbulb moment struck. I turned to my daughter and said, “Quick, give me your phone! I need to snap a photo of you and your brother.” She eagerly handed it over, and the two of them posed in front of the steps.

“Say cheese!” I called out. But instead of grinning, my son displayed a series of silly faces and refused to cooperate, leaving me with a less-than-perfect photo to commemorate the day.

The important takeaway here? I managed to capture a moment, and in the end, that’s what counts. After all, what kind of mom forgets to document her kids’ first day of school?
