Picture Day

I love picture day!
Please stop! I have had enough flashes in my face today!

I remember picture day when I was growing up just like it was yesterday. Everything had to be perfect. Hair, outfit, and shoes. My Mom would spend hours making sure I had the best outfit on and my hair was just right. I felt like my Mom today with Ty. I wanted to make sure that he had the perfect outfit, too! I did not have to worry about his hair as much, because there is not alot there. I did bring his brush with me just in case there was a hair out of place. He looked so cute in his overalls and white turtle neck. I thought he looked perfect.

Of course I had him covered fom head to toe while he was eating lunch. I did not want him to get food on his outfit before we left. We had to leave right after he ate so we could make our 12 pm photo shoot. Yes, I scheduled it then because of nap time. I am a little nazi when it comes to keeping him on his schedule these days. It took Ty a little while to warm up, but I think we got a couple of smiles out of him. We did a picture of him in a red wagon. He was holding on to the little handle, however most of the time the handle was in his mouth. I really wanted Ryan there, because he can always get a smile or a laugh out of him. Ryan can throw something down and Ty will just laugh at him. However, today did not work with Ryan's schedule. Maybe for the 9 month photo shoot! We have gone every 3 months since Tyler was born. It is amazing to see all the changes in his pictures.

Well, we must have worn Ty out with all of the silly faces and flashes, because he crashed when we got home. Poor baby was rubbing his eyes like crazy. We have to wait 2 weeks to view the pictures. The photographer said she took over 100 of him! How will we ever make up our mind? Ghee will be in town to look, too! Oh, I got the BEST news last night. My Dad/Poppy is coming to Temple, too! He will arrive after my mom and stay until March 12. That is when my Mom leaves too! I am so excited. I knew he would not be able to go with out seeing Ty. Tonight is Board meeting night in Westphalia, so it will just be me and Ty today and tonight!
