Say "Grumpy!"

So, yesterday was picture day at Nora's daycare. They take every kid's picture and then a couple weeks later, we get to see the prints and can buy as much or as little as we want. Although it lacks the control of taking the kids to a photographer ourselves, it also lacks the stress of taking them to a photographer ourselves. Unfortunately, Nora wanted nothing to do with it.

In her last photos from daycare, she had this demure, serious-beyond-her-years look that was the result of her not wanting to smile for the photographer. Yesterday, though, she took her protest to a new level and apparently stood there with her arms crossed and refused to go in front of the camera. I can imagine that her face looked something like this.


She does have a lovely smile though, when she decides to share it.


It's too bad, but hey, I also admire her moxie (even if it's really only a 2-year-old declaring her independence). She's got spunk, that little one.
