My, my, my, time really does fly when you are having so much fun. Top left picture is our referal picture. Couldn't really tell from the picture what kind of a girl Mimi turned out to be. It wasn't until we actually had her in our arms than we found out that she loved having her picture taken but she would never smile during the picture taking only afterward would put on a huge smile grinning from ear to ear and clap. Then no sooner did we arrive in the U.S. she was accepted into UCLA pre-school/daycare and was really into Sesame Street. At that time she was 2 years old. Then comes the group picture going top left: 3 yo (pre-school), top right: 4yo (pre-school), bottom left: 5 yo (kindergarten), bottom right: 6yp (first grade). This year I helped out with the picture taking at school. You should have heard some of the kids complain about their moms. There were several options. First of all, all of the students were required to take a picture whether they were going to purchase picture or not. Second, if you were purchasing pictures, you could pay a few dollars more and have another colored background as opposed to the standard gray color.There were kids who thought that they were going to get the background of their choice but when they found out that their parents did not pay for it you should have heard the moans and groans of "MO-OM!" Then there was the kid whose mom wanted to wear a dress shirt and tie. He absolutely refused. Then his mom talked him into it by telling him that she would bring his favorite shirt and he could change after the picture taking. Problem was, his was the very last class to have their picture taken that day. Poor boy had to wear a shirt and tie the whole day of school. If looks could kill.......he sure had them.
