Moms?? Do you take pictures the first day of school?? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My mom always took pictures of my brother and I on our first day of school. We would always be all dressed up in our new 'school clothes' and excited about our first day. The pictures were always taken in the same spot in our house - it's really kindof neat to look back at them now and see how we changed from year to year. I can still remember some of the horrible outfits I wore... a purple dress with some pink shoes comes to mind.... When (if?) I have kids someday, I think I would do the same thing.

Awwww, Poor Guy! Thats a toughie for sure!! But kisses and belly rubs from mom are a sure fire cure!!!

Of course you could always teach him the "Secret Tummy Ache Trick" I taught it to Katie. oops, Kate, when she was in the first grade... It got her perfect attendance the next two years!

When you feel icky Pinch your pinky fingertip, the whole thing nail and all, on your left hand.. with your right hand... and count to ten in your head s l o w l y. . . .

And then tell your self that its only a couple of hours till you get to come home!

Kate used it alot! lol and it worked! lol She never came home in the 1st or 2nd grade and only came home in the 3rd cause she was hurt on the playground... That she could not talk herself through... She said she tried! Poor baby!

Keep us posted and let us know how day 2 goes!

Well, my kids are 21 and 23 years old now, but yes, I did ALWAYS take pics the first day of school. Standing in front of our open front door was the spot and it turned out to be a great measuring place to show growth each year.

I was very anal about stuff like this and when they graduated from high school, I put together a powerpoint slide show with photos beginning with their newborn photo, each month of their first year, and each year thereafter along with the special photos of dance recitals, homecoming, prom and graduation. It was such a big hit that my sister did the same for my niece when she graduated this year. A printed page was all the first day of school pics starting with preschool through senior year. They were side by side and labeled and really cute all together.

Your kids are beautiful. Keep up the good work!!!
