Picture Day at School

Today was Picture day at School for the kindergarten twins. I stressed about what I wanted them to wear, and what it will look like when we look back twelve years from now when they are graduating from high school. I couldn't decide if I should dress them in something that matched, since I know my days are numbered in that OR dress them in regular everyday clothes...I opped for the cute hawaiian twin outfit that my friend had gotten for me in Hawaii. The shirt matched the girls dress, looked so cute and hope I don't regret it one day. You know it is the pressure that one day my son's wife will say to me, "What did he look like in Kindergarten, and I will get out the picture and she will look at me, thinking-you dressed him in that..." Or my daughter will say "Why did you always put a bow in my hair?" I guess I will answer, I thought about it all night long, and this is what I did. I did it with well intensions and love. I came up, took you out of those clothes and dressed you in soccer shirts and shorts for PE. I brought you lunch with a slush and all day I thought of your first real school pictures have been taken. All these mile stones are coming so quick, and I wish I could freeze you two. You are so special and beautiful to me and I celebrate in my heart every time I get to see you, hug you, and tell you how much I love you both. You both had great days, filled with so much. I loved being in your room, making caterpillars with you and seeing you interact with each other and your friends. What a special day!
