the cry

This is kind of how I feel today...

Is it mean to take a picture of your child when she is crying?

I don't know, I was sitting across the room, messing with my camera, and Brooke and Megan were playing.  I was taking pictures of them, fooling around with my new camera and the light and the settings.  Pretty much one minute they were laughing and the next, Brooke was crying.  Like out of the blue.

I finally got it out of her that she was crying because her skin hurt (it's very dry).  So I was trying to make her laugh by being silly.  And the light in the room was kind of pretty too.

Then she was like, "Take a picture of me crying!"

So, what's a Mom to do?

The cry only lasted a minute or two. 

Then they were back to messing around.

Then Brooke asked me to take a picture of her smiling her best smile.  So I did. 

And I took one of her sister too.
