You do the prep talk before school on picture day- please smile without doing your goofy face, stand up straight, and DON'T let the photographer comb your hair into your eyes. (Why does every school "photographer" do this?)
I opened the red folder on Tuesday to the surprise of school picture proofs. Never did i think i needed to tell Garrett to TAKE HIS JACKET OFF! Really?
For those of you who know Garrett- you know this sweatshirt may permanently affix itself to his torso. I think he has even slept in it several times. His immediate response was, "Ms. Lewis said it was ok". I am very thankful for this gift from Ms. Lewis (not sure of the validity of Ms. Lewis's approval or Garrett feeling the need for reinforcements). The poor teacher has had to stare at this sweatshirt EVERY day since Christmas!
The "history" of this sweatshirt is simple. Kyle and i were at Sports Authority at lunch time alone before Christmas. Not a date but we were alone! We saw the Under Armour gear and thought the older boys would love one for Christmas. So after some consideration my parents decided to indulge the boys with one in blue for Garrett and one is grey for Mason.
Forget the really cool car that drives on the ceiling or the iPod nano - Garrett got clothes?!@ Garrett is the most tender-hearted and caring boy, but he is VERY particular about this clothing. He wore a White Rock uniform to CCDC preschool last year. You never know with him!
I guess an Under Armour sweatshirt in the kindergarten school photo really does capture this year in it's true form. Scraggly hair, big smiles, and a blue Under Armour sweatshirt!
Gotta love Mason's cool 3rd grade pose! Fun times!
