Camera Shy? I don't think so!

Being two means being defiant. About six months ago Owen realized he doesn't have to do what I ask. And he loves trying to drive me crazy by not doing what I suggest. I'll ask him "Do you want to go outside?" "No Outside!" He'll respond. But when I walk away and he realizes he really does want to go outside he says, "I wanna outside!"

So our latest struggle is taking pictures. One of two things happens. He either turns around, like in the picture above, or like in the picture below, he puts his hands over his eyes. And of course we really positivly reinforce this by saying, "Owen turn around. Come on turn around so we can take a picture!" or "Owen move your hands. Right now move your hands!" The whole time he's loving the fact that we can't make him turn around or move his hands.



But he has to turn around sometime! And then I shoot like crazy!

We had a fun walk the other day. It was sunny and only a little cold. It actually looks really beautiful here. There are no leaves on the trees, but everything else is green. All the lawns are green and the farmer's fields are filled with this beautiful winter wheat. I'll post a picture of it another day!
