And now, this year's fabulous school photos. Besides the fact that I think these kids are awesome, I love the stories I hear about the photo process.
Molly has long reported to me that the LifeTouch folks basically insist on the kids smiling with teeth and tilting their heads "just so" (see Clara, below), and I always assure her that she does not need to do anything in the pictures that she doesn't want to. This year, the kids told me, LifeTouch had footprints on the ground - blue for boys and red for girls - and instructed the girls to put their hand on their hip (again, see below) and the boys put their hands in their pockets. And this is the fun part: a group of kids took issue with this, went to their principal, who has apparently told LifeTouch that this is not to happen again at our school.
