All Summer we passed the (non-licensed character) school backpack lined windows of the picture perfect store Pottery Barn Kids at the mall.  All summer I kept saying, “Look at how cute that one is Liam, don’t you love it for school?” All summer you answered, “I am just not that into those ones Mommy.” One Toys R Us trip you found the ones you wanted you were in love and I had to kiss my “picture perfect” backpack hopes goodbye.  I would have never even given the backpack and lunch bag you picked a second glance, or even a first glance for that matter.  Tonight as I was going through and sorting all your new school supplies I realized I have to let go of some things and that if it makes you happy it makes me happy, too.  Anyways, there is always hope that next year you will let me pick it out!
