Hamming it up

Let's start with my theory of taking pictures; take tons of pictures of everything in your life. You will want to remember the good times, forget the bad times, and have blackmail for all of it. Seriously though, I am not the greatest on framing pictures and seeing the artistic angle of taking pictures so figure that if I take lots of pictures, I will end up with a few usable ones that will preserve my memories forever. Besides, how many of you have seen how fast my two kids constantly move. So you might ask..."what's the deal with these four pictures that are virtually the same?" Here is my answer:

Phoenix and Ben were sitting together so sweetly that I wanted to get a picture of it. Ben is Phoenix's buddy who loves to "take care" of him. If Phoenix is hurt, Ben will hug him and tell him it is OK. If Phoenix starts the throw a fit, or be upset over something that didn't go his way, Ben will pat him on the back and ask if Phoenix is OK. When Ben brings his Ohs cereal, Phoenix likes to be close to Ben and ask please. Ben's heart is so big that he will set out about 3 at a time on the table to share with Phoenix. Ben is proud of his sharing skills and Phoenix loves that Ben is sharing. Out of history and into the story, Phoenix climbed up in the chair next to Ben, and he sat there asking Ben "please." Ben was sharing away and I wanted a picture of these two. As soon as I got the camera out, Phoenix starts being a silly little boy for the pictures. Moral of the story- I never got the picture I wanted, but I still got some really cute ones.
