What Kind of Mom Forgets First Day of School Photos?
As parents, we often find ourselves in a whirlwind of activities, especially at the start of the school year. The anticipation of back-to-school season can feel like a breath of fresh air after weeks of endless questions about volcanoes and other imaginative topics. However, amidst the excitement, it’s surprising how much I actually enjoyed the time spent with my children this summer. They’ve evolved into quite the entertaining duo, and miraculously, they weren’t as bothersome as I had anticipated.
On the first day of school, I felt an unusual mix of calmness and confidence. After gathering the extensive list of school supplies, shopping for trendy outfits, purchasing new backpacks and lunchboxes, securing the right gym clothes, and ensuring everyone was ready on time, I felt a sense of accomplishment like never before. I was ready to embrace this new school year. That is, until I stepped outside my front door.
To my dismay, I noticed neighbors already capturing the special moments of their children on the first day of school. A pang of anxiety hit me— I had completely forgotten to take pictures of my kids! After five years of schooling, I thought I could skip it this time. Yet, the pressure to keep up with other parents weighed on me. However, I had inadvertently locked my phone inside the house and couldn’t let that ruin my plan.
In a moment of inspiration, I turned to my daughter and requested her phone. “Quickly, let’s capture a picture of you and your brother,” I said. She complied, and as they posed in front of our steps, my son decided to express his frustration through a series of silly faces, making it nearly impossible to get a decent photo.
Nevertheless, I managed to snap something. After all, what kind of mom forgets to document her child’s first day of school?
