I don’t often share photos of my kids online, but I just had to share these few that were taken today. In the first photo, my DD is wearing a fancy taffeta red dress that she insisted on wearing to school on Monday and I refused. (I let her cry for about 45 minutes b/c she only wanted to wear that particular dress and I would not let her). It did not matter that I explained I did not want it ruined while she painted or how it would be tough to go to the playground in that dress, the tears and wails just kept coming. I let her cry it out, until she got too tired and finally gave in. However, today, she again wanted to wear it and since she was not going to school (she only goes 3X’s a week) I gave in…I figured it is not what I would normally put my child in to go the grocery or the post office, but she is not harming me or herself, so why not? I mean, she did look so cute! So, off the store and post office we went!
In the second photo, I had just given my daughter a few jelly beans (positive reinforcement/treat) for going to the potty and she asked me to put them in her “box” and she planted herself right next to her big brother sitting and doing his homework on the couch. I thought it was a darling photo.
In the third photo, I have to admit, I did ask my children to “look at each other” and I quickly snapped the picture, I think it looked quite natural, what do you all think? It is so much fun taking photos of your cute kiddies…
I am now inspired to go take my point and shoot out and make use of it. Perhaps I can get some nice nature pictures tomorrow, if the weather is cooperative.
Anyone have any great photos to share? I miss taking my photography class! I use to take one every Tuesday evening at the local recreation center, but, after my third child was born, I never seem to have the time, energy, etc. Oh well. Hopefully, someday I can get back to going! It was a fun group of people and we had contests, etc.
is NOT very friendly to the public in general. It is not sending a nice message at all to the population, in my humble opinion. Of course, there will be places that are inappropriate to bring a child any time, i.e. a bar, night club, etc. BUT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN THOSE KINDS OF SIGNS. What are you going to start saying certain beaches should not have children playing and swimming? Come on, that is ridiculous! If you want to have a sign that says, ANYONE (that can include children) who is disruptive, will be asked to leave. That is fair, polite, etc. BUT, to have a following of NO KIDS ALLOWED and be so blatanly obvious and snooty, is not right. At least, that is my OPINION. People are surely quick to give their opinions in America and with freedom of speech rights, it is almost like verbal diarhea (excuse my language) for some…let’s just all try to get along!!! I always appreciate when I am out and about and some people mention how sweet my children are, how cute they are when they are singing a song or telling a joke or just being a …child! It is refreshing…
