Celia came over tonight to show us Emily's costume for Halloween this year. She was ADORABLE!!
She just stood in the middle of the room with her arms away from her sides, stiff as a board. No matter how much coaxing we tried on her, we couldn't get her to move at all. She looked at all of us with interest, and even cracked a smile, but wouldn't walk anywhere or move her arms! She reminded me of the little brother in A Christmas Story with his snow outfit so stuffed that he couldn't move his arms. So cute!
Mom finally got Emily to sit on her lap, and that's when she relaxed a bit. And that's when I got the money shot. I showed her the pictures on my camera, and she stiffly extricated herself from Mom's lap and walked over to me to get a better view. She tried to point at herself as every young child does when she sees herself in a picture, but her little bunny mittens prevented her from actually pointing or touching the screen at all. This proved to be rather funny as she mutely tried over and over again to touch the screen and move to the next image. She never got upset, just kept trying with perfect determination. :)
