class photo - 4th grade

I got a text from a mother of one of Tim's classmates who also works at his school.  Our families have become friends.  She sent the photo in a text and wrote: "Best class picture EVER!"  I immediately suspected that something was afoot and began scanning it.  She was right.  Everyone facing the camera, everyone smiling, no one wearing something inappropriate...And then I saw him.  Our son.

I have seen Paul do this same pose.  Just sayin'.  I am certain there are some parents who are not happy, feel that he has ruined the class photo.  I feel for them.  Fortunately, they have the good breeding and manners not to say anything to me.  A couple of them have praised him, which I love.  One said, "Why couldn't that be my child!"

I love that he is comfortable in his own skin.
