Remembering to bring your smile

Yesterday was Claire’s very first “School Picture Day” session. She had her photo taken in her preschool class by a professional photographer, and I wasn’t there. I couldn’t obsess over whether or not her hair was straight or her dress was just right.

Surprisingly, I’m okay with all this. In fact, I was glad to let someone else handle the chaos. I’m getting the hang of this whole Baby Steps thing.

When I picked her up yesterday, I asked how it went.

“I’m SO GLAD I remembered to bring my smile, Momma! I’m SO GLAD I remembered it…because it was picture day, and I needed it!”
