I have a confession…..

As many of you know, I am a mom of 2 beautiful little girls as well as a fledging photographer businesswoman. And now I must confess….I forgot all about preschool picture day. *Gasp* I know, I know, you are thinking, well, how can that be possible? How can the woman who plans birthday parties three months in advance, who seems to live with a camera in hand forget about pictures!

The answer – I don't know! It all started with cap day on the 10th – they were learning the letter C and so for a fun little thing, all were to wear caps. Of course, I forgot! Then, Monday, our betta – the fish which everyone said was near indestructible – died! When Tuesday morning I realized I had forgotten preschool pictures I immediately freaked out. Completely and totally. Rushed home – broke nearly every speed limit ever posted, to arrive and find that my husband d—trying to be helpful had changed her clothes and taken her on to preschool. Had I not been so freaked out, I would have grabbed her pretty black dress with the white polka dots in addition to the comb and hair supplies, but I didn't. My husband – again, in an effort to help – had changed her into a dressy brown mock wrap shirt, blue jean shorts with a big aqua and hot pink flower, white strappy sandals more fitting for an Easter dress, and sent along a tiny cotton candy pink bow that Kyndal wore when she was a baby.

Any men reading this will not see any problem with that ensemble, I know. I tried sharing the horror with my best guy friend and rather than saying "no way" or "what was he thinking" as most of my girl friends had done, he just looked at me blankly, still awaiting the punch line of the story.

It worked out fine – she's an adorable girl with a pretty smile and her individual picture was waist up so the shorts and shoes are not revealed. The photographer committed to hiding them in the preschool class picture as best as possible, so with a final hug to Erin, I returned to work. I am fairly certain that everyone at the preschool as well as most of my co-workers are convinced I am one crazy mom!
