Getting the two kids for a picture is never easy but we are determined to get a good picture one of these days so once every few days we try. Getting James to stop whatever he is doing is never easy, especially nowadays when he has really gotten into pretend playing. He doesn't like to break character so we have to make sure hes not acting like a dinosaur or train - because then we would get a dozen pictures of him roaring or cho-choing. Not exactly what we are going for.

 

Madeleine is easier, she just gives us the stink eye - its like she already knows whats coming. Since she can't talk back to us (yet), John and I have gotten really good at figuring out what shes thinking.

"Don't you dare..."

 

"And now I have to sit here and wait while you chase James around? Not cool, now I'm bored."



 

"Well if you would throw the ball then the dogs wouldn't be trying to get on the couch, duh."

"I don't get it, whats funny about a dinosaur and a train?"

 

"My foot is not ticklish, don't even try it. I'm warning you..."

 

"I told you not to tickle me!"

"Kissing me is not going to make this better, I'm going to tell Mom!!"

 

"MOM!!"



"Wait, what was I crying about?"
