Picture Pages...

Today was CR's class picture day at preschool. It was precious, albeit chaotic. It started off with CR's individual glamor shot, and then it was time to take a picture of all the little monsters together.

The whole arrangement process took some time to pull together, so some of the subjects got a little restless.

One of CR's classmates tried to help him get into position...

As kids went from sitting, to standing, to throwing leaves, to just plain zoning out, CR kept his attention on me, looking for affirmation as to what he was supposed to be doing...

CR: Mommy, are we done yet?
Mommy: No, not yet, stay put...
CR: (looking at the photographer) Cheeeese!
CR: Mommy, all done?
Mommy: No, not yet, stay there and smile...
CR: (looking at the photographer) Cheeeese!
CR: Mommy, are we done yet?
Mommy: No, not yet, look at the camera, for god's sake!
CR: (looking at the photographer) Cheeeese!

You get the point. I look forward to getting the actual prints to see if CR stands out as "that guy" in the shot - in all the class pictures taken throughout my educational lifespan, there was always that one kid who was doing the opposite of what they were supposed to be doing...there is a good chance CR will hold that title...

He will be a part of many class photos in the years to come, so we have time to make up for any mishaps from his photographic maiden voyage.
