K is still a pain to try and get a nice photo of. She usually refuses to pose and smile nicely. It's a power play over Mum, of course. Every Sunday, K and Dad have been going out for morning tea, whilst Mum goes to the gym. I tried to get a photo of our somewhat neatly dressed munchkin.
Today, K received her first merit certificate at an assembly. It was for "bringing her beautiful smile to class". Mum tried to get a photo.
I have discovered however, that if you wear a costume, it's suddenly okay to pose, and actually stand still for a photo. K decided to play dress ups last weekend - pulling out costumes she hadn't seen in a while.
Today, K's Cheer class got their uniform for their upcoming performances. K was very excited. As she was 'in costume', in her uniform, K was happy to pose for a photo.
I think I need to rethink my photo taking approach. We don't get the camera out that often, so my options as I see it are to either:
1. Take a lot more photos so K becomes more comfortable with the camera
2. Do some research on building resilience and helping kids become comfortable in their own skins and loving who they are or
3. Buy a heap more costumes and carry one with me at all times, in case I feel the need to take a photo :-)
Which one do you think will help?

Wow! So many costumes! Can't wait until Hunter can play dress ups too!
ReplyDeleteHe has no choice but to pose for our photos now ;-)
