Darn Children

Yesterday Ruth sent a pic of Annie of a child fighting the picture process.  I love this kid




It reminded me of my attempt to 3 year old pictures of MJM.  If I ever wanted to disown (or dismember) a child it was then.  She practiced and practiced before we got to Wal-Mart. then we get there and she wouldn't if go in front of the camera.  This young unprepared mother even stepped in to get her to smile/get in front of darn scary camera.


Then bribed her (please note that there is a fine line between tears/freakout and let me try to smile)


I was so mad that I left Walk-Mart without the pictures and went home for naps.  Once home, I called her Aunt Tami who went to Wal-Mart to purchase the pictures unaware to me.  When we woke up from naps the packet was sitting on my doorstep.  With sleep (and now with years) behind us, I laughed.  Laughing again now, and loving Annie even more!
