My daughter brought home her first-grade pictures yesterday. They already seem like museum pieces.
Comparing her kindergarten pic and this first-grade one clarifies how much she’d grown. Her face is fuller and her smile more mature. She’s not a little kid anymore, and her pictures document that transformation.
But even over the past month, my daughter’s appearance has changed. She’s lost her two front teeth in as many weeks, and neither replacement has emerged.
I don’t know how long this look will last. The school pics captured my daughter’s look at the end of whatever phase she was in before. Now she’s in between.
