Fourth Grader

Madelyn  started fourth grade last Tuesday. It is still hard to wrap my mind around the fact that I have a fourth grader. She was excited to go back to see her friends but not so thrilled that summer was over. As I was taking her picture in front of our house she asked if I would please not take any pics in front of the school like I normally do. I kindly explained no chance as I will be following her to school and taking her picture even when she is a senior in high school. So needless to say she was less than thrilled to have her picture taken in front of the school and even less thrilled that I followed her into the school and took her pictures as she sat next to her friends in the gym waiting for school to start. I guess I have become the uncool mom and I now embarrass her. Isn't that my job?
