Remember those first day of school pictures, with your hair sitting perfectly and your shoes shined to perfection?

One mum has created the perfect way to make them a little more unique.

Carina Cansino, from Dallas, Texas, U.S., created a t-shirt for her son Gus with space for hand prints every year and on his first day each August, they add more prints and take a picture of him wearing it.

Carina bought a large adults shirt, with the idea being that her son can wear the completed shirt on his graduation day in 2032.

Once you get over the idea that this kid who is starting school will be there until 2032, which sounds like a very long way away, the idea is pretty adorable.

This is Gus’ second year wearing the shirt as he started pre-kindergarten last year.

This year he’s heading to kindergarten for real and he stamped the second space with a blue hand print.

Carina tweeted the picture of Gus in the currently oversized shirt saying: ‘Let’s begin the first year of elementary.’

People loved the idea and the Tweet went viral, with over 178,000 likes.

Carina later explained: ‘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’

She also explained that she had five-year-old Gus when she was 15 and she has been a single mum for many years.

The mum said she wanted to share her story and inspire other women to be and do better and keep striving.

Carina said she had the shirt custom made but others said they’d spotted similar ones on Etsy or suggested creating a DIY version.

Now we have to check back every year to see Gus grow up.
