Who knew…
May 8, 2008… it is so exhausting to take pictures of adorable little kids?! Well, actually, they aren’t always adorable and that’s part of the problem. Sometimes they just sit there and glare at you and you have to try to make them smile but if they’re just in a grumpy mood you’re out of luck. The past few mornings this week, I have taken pictures of the 90-some littlest kids here, age birth to around 2 1/2. That is an interesting experience in itself because they’re plenty moody or get distracted by the shiny coins that are a part of the background set. Or sometimes they play with the pirate hat they’re supposed to wear and end up putting it in front of their face instead of on their head and, really, what good is a picture when you can’t see the face?!
Then today I took pictures at the Toddler House. Slightly older kids, so they know what they’re doing more, but it’s still quite the experience. There were between 60 and 70 kids whose pictures I took this morning. I finished right around lunchtime, but it was very exhausting. Now I know. And next month I’ll be prepared. Not that there’s much I can do about it… but at least I’ll know it’s coming!
