The Perfectly Imperfect Mom

“…upon walking into the building, I’m informed that it’s picture day and,
of course, I’ve forgotten all about it. Why do one-year-olds need a
picture day anyway? My son is wearing a too large baseball t-shirt with remnants of his
breakfast smeared all across the neckline and down the left sleeve.
Somehow he managed to kick off one of his shoes in the car and I can’t
for the life of me find it.”
“…the two ladies in charge of taking the photos just stare at me. They give me a look that’s half pity and half understanding with a little bit of judgment thrown in for good measure. I plop my son down in front of their camera and tell them it better be a picture to remember. I can’t wait to see it! It might even make our Christmas card…..”

    So cute! I get that look too often my son hates shoes & socks so he is bare foot a lot of the time when we get out of the car, that car is just as bad as the washer & dryer.
