Taking Christmas Pictures

Getting Madelyn's Christmas/2 year pictures taken was definitely a stressful event. At the beginning she was not having any part of looking at the camera. She just wanted to play with the props. She would say "cheese" as she looked down at the ground. Then she would get off of the little platform where she was sitting. The lady taking the pictures tried using some tricks but again Madelyn was having no part in it. We thought we were not going to have pictures for this year.
Finally, Madelyn realized that she could see herself as she took her picture. That changed everything! She laughed and smiled, and we got a few good pictures.
Life with a 2 year old is never dull!
