A New Low (for me, i.e. Ivanna)

I have officially reached a new low in my mother-dom...

So, its like 10:30 at night, I'm finishing up some work on the computer. Mike is searching for some information that is supposed to be on a back-up disk which is missing in action, and comes across an old stack of photos that were sent home with us from daycare once the kids moved to the pre-school classroom.

Looking at one particular picture, I say: "Hey Mike, Vasco really looks like Justine in this picture!"
Mike: "Ummm... that IS Justine."

Great! After being able to tell the kids apart in their NICU pictures, with nothing but a napkin-sized diaper, a CPAP in their nose and a feeding tube, I manage to mix them up in this picture. Now why would the daycare workers put Justine in a blue bib???! Really!

Here's a picture of the infamous picture: the eyes clearly say Justine, but the haircut and hair color really threw me off. (I'm fishing for excuses. Any further excuses that anyone is willing to provide me will be most welcome).
I will now go label the sleeping kids with permanent marker to avoid any further such embarrassment.

It's obvious that the kids require tatoos. Nothing too big or obvious. Another solution would be bar coding so you could scan them every morning.

Jerry, I LOVE the scanning idea... will reprogram the scanner from their toy cash register: right now it just says "10 cents" when I scan myself and "25 cents" when I scan the kids...
