I always feel like a failed mother when milestones in my kids’ lives fly by me without a record of it. When I don’t have the presence of mind to grab the camera or like this morning, rushing with my daughter to her school on her first day of 2nd grade a few minutes late and not having the time to take decent photos. Yes, I had my iphone but no, I didn’t have the time to take a milestone-y kinda shot. Damn it…failed yet again. I did attempt to take photos of her on the playground when I picked her up.  Here she is playing with her brother.   Doesn’t say anything about 2nd grade but at least I TOOK a photo of her on the first day of 2nd grade!
