I took Ryan for his 3 month pictures yesterday at The Picture People. Just a little backstory......Picture People will do Halloween pictures of your little one. I really wanted to have Ryan's picture taken, but all of the costumes I had found were too big or too expensive. I am sorry, I can not justify $50 on a costume he will wear for about two seconds. I had resolved myself to the fact that this would not be the year of the costume. Well, then I discovered Once Upon a Child. For those who do not know it, it is a consignment shop for kids (Wendy and Kristina: I know you LOVE it). Anyway, I found two costumes there (a Moo Cow and a Dragon). Cost? $3.95 each. Crazy huh? So, here I am so excited. Well, as you have seen posted below in the previous post, Ryan is less than thrilled. I will post the dragon here in a sec. Flash to Sunday afternoon at The Picture People. We planned his naps and bottles all day so he would be in a good mood. First, I put him in his 3 mos. outfit. He wrinkles up his brow and looks at the photographer like, "who the heck are you and what do you think you are doing with THAT thing?" Of course, he would smile as soon as she took the camera away. Long story short, those pics came out pretty decent. Then we put the costume on. He loses it! I mean tears and all. I walked him around, I sang our song (yes, he made me sing You Are My Sunshine in public). As soon as I put him down, loses it! Sooooooo, another long story short, there will be no professional pics of the Moo Cow. Now, we are going to the church Fall Festival on Sunday and plan to go to a Halloween parade in Davidson on Halloween. Who knows what the results will be. Maybe if no cameras are involved he will be okay. I am excited about the parade. I have been wanting to go for years, but could not get Matt to go. Now, we have Ryan and he is all about it. All the children and pets in town dress up and walk up and down Main Street. Cute! Having a kid gets you into all of the cool places.
Until Next Time
