The Trouble with Ty

I mentioned earlier that butterflies were easier to photograph than children. That's no joke. I tried to take some pictures of Ty this weekend, and it makes me tired just thinking about it. All I wanted him to do was peek through a crape myrtle and smile pretty. Ha. First there were creepy bugs on the trees, all 12 of the trees. Then a locust shell distracted him. Of course he wanted to try to climb each of the trees to the very top. Then he was hot. Then he was tired. Then he wanted to rake a pile of leaves and jump in. Then he wanted to take off his clothes. And instead of that pretty smile I wanted, he grinned like a jack-o-lantern. Oh brother! When will I ever learn? Just take a look at some of these shots...

He's just recently started giving me the peace sign when I try to take his picture.

Finally!
