I am sure this is just the first if 12 long years of fights over picture day outfits. I think this might be one of the battles I need to choose not to fight.
In an effort to minimize the fight in the morning, we picked out the clothes last night; everything fit and all agreed on the outfits.
Silly me. Suddenly this morning none of it fit and it was the worst outfit EVER. REALLY? You would have thought I was making them wear a 3 piece suit! It was just a rugby shirt and khakis! And I didn't even ask them to wear nice shoes (I said sneakers since it was PE day)!
Not the best way to start the week off. Cole, you yelled, screamed, threw your clothes and cried for 30+ minutes. JD, you grumbled but humored me. Thank you for that. It was painful.
School pictures are the worst anyway. I only buy them for posterity; and they cost a ridiculous fortune for crummy posed pictures.
I had an a-ha moment this morning. Next time, you guys can wear whatever you wish. It will make for better pictures anyway since you will be happy with your clothes. And I am sure the outfits will give us a good laugh someday.
I am choosing my battles and this is not one I am going to fight again. I hope I remember this next year!
