The project is due tomorrow, so this morning I grabbed my digital camera to get separate head shots of the boys. What should have been a five minute chore was anything but ... and it was all Jonathan's fault.
You see, Jonathan eyes are very light sensitive, and if he knows a flash is coming he cannot help but squint; in fact, he is so sensitive that the last time he had his eyes checked he would not/could not cooperate for the glaucoma test. After repeated attempts the technician taped his eyelids open. I had to leave the room I was laughing so hard.
Anyway, this was the first photo of the morning:
"Can you at least try to keep your eyes open?" I asked, with more than a hint of exasperation in my voice.
This was him trying:
After ten more attempts which the exact same results -- same closed eyes, same expression, same pose -- I had had enough.
"I'm telling you what, you'd better keep those eyes open or else," I threatened ... mean, mean Mommy that I am. And seriously? I was wondering where the scotch tape was.
So THIS was what I got:
Sigh. In the end, THIS is what we settled on:
Believe me ... I more than earned my cappuccino this morning!

But Ellen, all of this was BEFORE the cappuccino... the logicical part of her brain was not awake yet. :D
Che ridere!! io so che è ragazzo molto intelligente, ma mettere una di queste foto nell'albero di famiglia....(eh! eh!).
Jonathan ti voglio bene e sei bellissimo anche così.
Well, you have to see the faces of the boys in my classroom in the morning... Help!!!!!!
Poor Jonathan. You are indeed a mean mommy. I see how sleepy the poor kid looks!
Ahahahaha! Totally made my morning, Bia. That third shot is hysterical! (The fourth is very nice, though.)
