So, I may be an obsessive parent. I know my kid's locker number AND his locker combination. Today I was helping at the school and they told me he would have his pictures taken for free because I was volunteering. I KNEW his schedule! I went right to his class and pulled him out so he could have his free pictures.
Now, I wasn't going to pay for those pictures, I think that's quite a good little business those "portrait studios" have. Claiming to take "quality photos" of your kids. Well, I was there and let me tell you: if your child is being hearded in and having the picture quickly taken so they can get to the rest of the 500 kids waiting, do you really think that's going to be quality? But, for an hour and half of my time, I'll let them take Ethan's picture so I can give one to the grandparents.
But, back to being obsessive, do you think I ought to show up one day and eat lunch with Ethan or do you think that would be over the edge?

Well, I'm planning on eating lunch with my daughter, Mary, at her new school. On the first day, I droped her off and - by her body language - I could tell she didn't want me walking her inside. But I'm thinking I will eat lunch with her sometimes and her friends will be to know me a little. Then, I'll know who they are. I'm thinking that seeing me at lunch and play rehersals will make my presence natural and even ... invited?
