Recently, I realized that I have very few pictures of my children--especially in sports. Sure, I took a few when my first child started playing soccer. Eventually, I took a couple pictures of my second child. As for pictures of my third child? Almost none.
Don't worry--I don't lack interest in my children, nor do most of you. However, when my son said, "You don't have any pictures of me.....," I felt guilty. Yes, I'm at most of his games, but looking at his point of view, I probably don't appear all that interested.
I headed out last week and bought a new camera, and I've been snapping away pictures all week. Finally, we have documentation that we do celebrate Thanksgiving, that my kids have friends, that my children actually have grandparents, and that all three play sports! Needless to say, my kids were thrilled to see the pictures.
Snapping a few photos shows your child that you're supportive. Supporting your child can lead to more confidence. Documenting their childhood with pictures gives your child wonderful memories to look back on.
So.....start snapping away today! (FYI--The picture at the top is proof that I actually took a picture!)
