Sunday Morning Photo Shoot

This is how MOST of that Sunday morning photo shoot went. Teancom was trying to play with the toy hammer. Elijah was trying to take it. And Miciah was trying to moderate. For a good portion of the time, Elijah was sulking about not being able to have the toy hammer. Finally we gave Elijah the hammer and gave Teancom another toy.

For a little while, since Elijah was sulking, I took pictures of just Miciah and Teancom. There's a whole series of cute pictures, two of which I sent. Miciah is trying to help Teancom play with the hammer. Teancom accidentally bops her lightly in the face and then Miciah cracks up. Made me smile. Miciah looks so good in pictures when she's laughing. I probably like it so much because she's almost always laughing in real life. It's how she looks most natural. Eliah, by comparison, has no emotional reaction to anything. I noticed this at Coney Island. We'd put them on a ride. Miciah would be laughing and smiling and talking all about how much she liked it. Elijah just kept the same expression. I'd say, "Elijah, do you like this ride?" He'd nod, like it was a very normal thing to go on a ride. Or he'd shake his head, like he didn't like it but couldn't be bothered enough to frown about it. It makes me laugh how different the two of them are.
