Wednesday night, I sat down at the computer to type up Mia’s 1st Day of Kindergarten sign. I kept telling my husband I can’t believe Mia is old enough to go to Kindergarten. I still remember the day of her birth like it was yesterday. I remember her first steps with my husband and I upstairs in our old house in Holly Springs. I even remember the zebra Gymboree pajamas she was wearing. I think back to the time I never thought she would ever grow any hair, and how I couldn’t wait to see her walking down the hallway and wave to me once she entered Kindergarten.

My, how years have changed. I am no longer teaching elementary school, she has a beautiful head of thick hair, and she’s no longer needing our fingers to help her keep her balance. As she picked out her outfit for her first day of school, she wanted to make sure she wore something pink (her favorite color), that she had the perfect hairbow (she borrowed mine), and that she wore one of the new things her Nana bought for her at our latest family trip to Gatlinburg. Ooookay. Adorned with her new gray (lacy) shirt from TJMaxx, her consignment store Justice skirt, and her pink sparkly Toms, she was off!

Before heading out, we had a mini photo shoot. I’m not always the greatest at taking pictures of my own children (they never seem to want to cooperate) but we savored this small moment yesterday morning. Hubby came home and took Elaina to school so Mia and I had a few moments together alone. We took her sign, new backpack, and the camera and took about 5 minutes to just play around. Here are the results.

I am trying to make more of an effort to document those little moments. It doesn’t matter the clothes they wear, the camera you have, or the background. Just remember that they grow up fast and when they grab those photos out of the shoebox many years down the road, nothing matters except that they can look back on that memory. They will relive it and will rejoice that you captured that day. Let’s all make a vow to take more pictures of the day-to-day things. It doesn’t matter if the photo is with your huge DSLR, your point and shoot, or heck, even your iPhone camera. Just get out there and document those moments.
