It's about that time of year where parents have to start saying goodbye to their kids and send them off to school every morning. For some parents, school is a godsend, a chance to breathe and probably deep clean their house for the first time in two months. But I'm sure it's also hard to see your child grow up right before your eyes.

Some parents commemorate the new school year by insisting on photographing their kids in their first-day outfits. But Carina Cansino, a mom from Dallas, Texas, had a different idea for her son Gus, who just started kindergarten this year.

She posted this pic of Gus in a giant t-shirt that says "Class of 2032" on it — the year he will graduate high school. "Let's begin the first year of elementary," she wrote on Twitter.

On the back of the shirt, there's a space for every grade where Gus can put his handprint. On Twitter, Carina wrote, "The concept is that every year on the first day we take a picture of him in it and by his senior year he will fit in the shirt and we'll get to go through every school year photo and watch his growth." How adorable it that?
