Embarrassing mom

It's official, I have embarrassed my 3rd grader! I took pictures of her waiting in line before school. She wasn't happy about it, then one of the other kids noticed her not looking at me. He said "Natalie your mom is taking a picture of you". She said "Yea I know, and I don't even want her to!"

The drop off and pick up spots at their school are both on the same side of the building. The younger kids are closer to the crossing guard and the older kids are further out on the school grounds. On the first day of school I asked her if she wanted me to cross at the crossing guard and walk up with her and she said no. So the second day of school a friend walked with us and when I asked again, she said "I went yesterday by myself, you don't have to cross with me." So I stayed back on the other side of the street and let her have a little freedom. You would have thought by her reaction that I was in my PJ's with my hair in curlers!

At least I still have William who will be happy to have me cross to the school grounds with him and wait while he is in line:-)
