Night and Day
I have to say that I was so not prepared for exactly how different my boys would be! Don’t get me wrong, I knew they would have their differences between them but its like they are just about the exact opposite of each other and it just amazes me on a daily basis. One has burned black hair and one has sandy blonde hair, one didn’t sleep for almost a full year when first born and the other slept all night from 6 weeks on. One loves to cuddle, and one wants nothing to do with it as he can’t still for more than a second unless its to watch spongebob,lol. One loves to pray and go to church and the other well he doesn’t, he’ll talk during prayers and will do anything he can not to go to church. One loves breakfast, the other hates it, one loves going to sleep and the other hates it and fights tooth and nail not to go to bed. One loves having his picture taken and one hates it with every fiber of his being, and this last point is the only one I really have a problem with as its so hard to take just one good picture of the two of them and it seems like I only get one a year that I like. Its so frustrating being a photographer and being able to take good shots of “other” kids but not mine, or at least not one of mine,lol. I’m hoping as he grows it will get easier, right? Am I fooling myself? Well if I am, I can dream and hope and pray and I’ll deal with all the other differences but I may just pull my hair out if he doesn’t get over having his picture taken.
For now, here is the ONE shot I got of the two of them, and I hardly believe I got it, and not thrilled with it, but hey, it will have to do cuz I don’t have ANY others,lol. It was fun in hindsight but it was HARD work. I do have a few more shots of the two of them individually but I’ll post those at a later date. Just wanted to post the one of the two of them together, especially since it will probably be the only I get of them together this year,lol.

Isn’t that the truth about photographer’s kids? I’ve got 2 boys too and it’s amazing how different they are from each other. I love that shot!
