Since then she's had a mixture of 'didn't like' and 'like/love' it pictures. The first school pic from first grade was a 'didn't like' and I sent it back for retakes. I loved the retake picture and was so happy wit it! I thought she looked adorable with all 4 of her front teeth missing and a genuine smile!
Then she had the spring pictures (why are there 2 sets of pictures anyway? I don't remember taking pictures two times throughout the school year.)
When she got home from school and I saw that telltale school picture envelope in her back pack I did what I've been accustomed to doing - I held my breath before turning it over. I can't help it. I just have no idea how she's going look for her school picture; especially since she started perfecting a very obvious non-smile by clenching her teeth together.
So when I turned over the envelope and saw her picture through the window I admit I gasped a little bit. I know I'm biased because I'm her mom and all ... but I just thought it was such a beautiful picture of her. She looks more mature somehow. And compared to the earlier school picture you can see her teeth growing in :) Now I don't know which picture I like better!
