She added a single red heart emoji and said, “I love you,” before ending her tweet with a “side note to critics.”
“Their older siblings did not want me to post a picture on their first day. I respect their choice, so should you,” Suleman wrote.
Suleman commemorated her octuplets’ teen transition last year on Instagram with a tribute post.
“You are all growing into some of the most kind, humble, grateful and loving human beings I have ever known. Each of you possess rare and unique characteristics, and are unlike any other child of your age, particularly in our society today,” she wrote at the time.
Detailing that her kids “are selfless, altruistic, nonmaterialistic, and loving, fearing, followers of God,” Suleman stated, “I have never seen children who love and want to serve others, (particularly those less fortunate), so boldly and confidently like each and every one of you do.”
“You are not followers of this shallow world, but of a God that created and loves you unconditionally. I do not know what I could possibly have done to deserve being blessed so bountifully,” she added. “I love you ❤️.”
