So I just figured out a formula to get Anna to let me take her picture. Buy her new clothes and let her try them on at home.
We picked up a new swimsuit today and I wanted to try it on to make sure it fit. Of course she had to try on the new jacket too. Then that led to opening the dress-up drawer and pulling out a few accessories. As she stood there perfectly still playing with the zipper, something told me, "get the camera, get the camera." Lately it has been really difficult to get pics of Anna because she is 1)running away, 2)showing her brow / scowling face, or 3)running away.
You know how your kids have a hundred facial expressions and it's weird (at least with Anna), just how different she looks with each one. There are a few that are my favorites and that I get to see a lot at home & during the day, but have been impossible for me to capture on film just yet. Well, today I "caught" one of them and that makes me very happy. This is the little girl that I love everyday.
