Justin recently gave me a hard time about the blog focusing so much on Emmie. As I have said before, I REALLY don't ever want people to think that I am putting more focus on one child versus the other. The truth of the matter is that Emmie still lets me take her picture without a fuss. Lainie......oh, Lainie Bug! She does not want any part of the camera unless she is the one taking the picture!
Just to make myself feel better from the guilt Justin bestowed upon me, I decided to try and take some pictures of the girls last week. Here is how it went down (with a little, and I do mean little, added drama for your reading pleasure):
Mommy: "Lainie, come here and sit by Emmie so I can take your picture."
Lainie: "No, I can picture." Interpretation - (No, I cannot take a picture.)
Mommy: "Lainie, Daddy wants a picture of you. Come and take a picture for Daddy."
Lainie: "NO, I CAN PICTURE!!!" (Tears begin)
Mommy: "Sit right here by Emmie....say cheese."
Lainie: "NO, I CAN PICTURE!!!" Face planted down on ground, hands over eyes, tears streaming down face, drama, drama, oh my gosh, DRAMA!!!
Mommy: "Lainie, do you want to go to time out?"
Lainie" "No" crying pathetically as if I just threatened to take a limb...
Mommy: "Lainie, sit with Emmie so I can get one picture of you. You look so cute!"
Lainie: "NO! No picture....I CAN PICTURE!!!!!!!"
Mommy: "LAINIE, DO YOU WANT TO GO TO TIMEOUT????? You sit there and smile for Mommy."
Lainie: tears, fake smile, more tears, more fake smile....oh, did I mention tears??? Thought process of Lainie could only be the following:
"My mommy is torturing me and I will remember this forever. Oh my gosh, she is the worst mommy in the whole world. I can think of no other mommy who would threaten a timeout for a picture. Just wait until she needs a nursing home! I will fill her room with cameras that have a speaker screaming "Say Cheese" all day long at her and she will LOSE HER MIND!"
Mommy: "Thank you Lainie!" Now, let's get in the car because we need to get to the doctor."
UGH!!!!!
And here is the result of our fiasco....
All of that torture for this? No way! I know you were expecting something amazing....it should have been amazing, believe me!
Red eyes....what red eyes are you talking about?
Do you see the tear on her face?
Smiling through the tears...
Jumping for JOY that the photo session is O-V-E-R!

I'm so happy Emmie's surgery went well! I was thinking about her and praying all day! Sweet girl, I hope she doesn't have ANY more ear infections! She's really been through it!
This post is hysterical. Lainie is so darn cute! It's so funny how she does not like her picture taken! The last picture of her jumping is awesome! I love it!
That is HILARIOUS!!! I love the nursing home statement - "Say cheese all day long!" Well they were cute pictures even if there were tears. And I have threatened spankings and time out for pictures, so don't feel bad! I'm sure Raylin will be scarred for life!
Well I must say that the pictures turned out really cute, despite all the drama you had to go through.
Glad all went well with Em!
That little Lainie bug is the cutest thing (although, I know you didn't think so when taking the pics)!
And I don't think anyone thinks you favor one of the girls over the other - guys...what do THEY know?!(I don't see them updating blogs and taking pictures!)
Glad the tubes went well. I can now see why you probably just take pictures of Emmie. She doesn't say anything back! The pictures are cute!
