I went to his valentine's party at school yesterday and he was definitely the child leading the class into chaos. I promise I do work with him on listening and obeying the first time. He can even say that phrase. But he doesn't do it, and usually not even after the tenth time.
Anyway, being the awesome mom that I am, I decided that I needed to document this momentous birthday by setting up an appointment to get photos taken at Photo Innovations. I had never tried this studio, but I had a coupon ( Photo coupon expires 2/16/14) so I thought, why not. I'll tell you why not...
This morning (our appointment is at 9) Jackson wakes up at 5:30 a.m. (after being up through out the night and then sleeping in my bed) with a poopy/ pee soaked diaper. ON MY BED. ON A PILLOW! Good morning to me. So we get up, change him, me, and the bed and start our day. I give him a quick shower and dress him for his photo shoot! We practice saying 'cheese' and everything. He's got it, and he looks super cute! After wrestling him into his car seat, we get to the studio. Then, even though I had an appointment some people walked in right before us and got to go first. They were adults. I have a toddler! So we waste twenty minutes waiting for one of the workers to come and start taking Jackson's picture. Disaster. He wasn't having it. He did not like the lady. And honestly, I wasn't that impressed with her either. She finally decided we just needed to reschedule. She also said, 'he's just a really clingy boy.' Obviously she doesn't know my son. He just wasn't impressed with her. He knows good people.
So I tried to coerce him one last time to sit on the block marked '2' and Jackson said, 'NO, bye bye'. After spending two hours getting my child ready for his pictures, driving him over, waiting our turn, and then trying to get him to sit for just ONE photo, what do I have to show for my efforts?! Nothing!
Happy Valentines to Mama, Love Jackson.
Maybe next year. 'Sigh'
Here is a photo of us last year at his first birthday.
