Thanks so much for all the feedback about holiday schedules and Maybell, this advice re: the pictures was perfect. I really love this board.
I was thinking of asking him if there was a particular picture he wanted to use. I don't want it to seem like I'm being manipulative or trying to make him feel guilty. But at the same time, I don't want to absolve him of parental responsibility ("I'm the mom, so it's my job to do this kind of stuff, and he doesn't even need to think about it"), OR for him to see me as just taking control and shutting him out.
Overthink much, Claire?
How about this: Hey H, D3's teacher asked us to send in some pictures of S. I'd like to do that by Wednesday. I have a few pictures of you and D, but if you have a recent pictures that you'd particularly like to use, please drop off a picture-- ideally on Monday since we need to send it this week.
