Anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting my tiny charge knows that he is not afraid of much and has basically never met a stranger (although he is skeptical of people with wrinkles oddly)…..so, I was alerted yesterday when picking him up at school that for the SECOND time in the last year he started crying and flipping out when it was time for school photos?!

I am befuddled by this development – one time was a fluke – a strange day – needed more banana morning – slept too long at nap time….but TWO times is a pattern.

So when I dropped him off this morning the ‘photo man’ was there and I was able to go with him to get his pictures….weirdest thing – the kid who blows kisses to everyone each day on the way out of school and home in the car – got clingy, whiny, pitiful? I don’t get it. It eventually took me basically squatting on one knee while keeping Texas from grabbing me and knocking me down all while playing a game of catch with the photographer who was hurling a stuffed Barney the dinosaur at me to get a few shots.

Obviously these photos are going to be dooseys…..I will share when they arrive in approximately 2-3 weeks.
