GGs Dress

So, my grandmother, Kayla's great grandmother (GG), made this super cute dress back in May but it was too big.  Yesterday I got it out to see if it would fit and Kayla said "nooo" and pushed the dress away (sorry GG).  I picked her up and took her to the closet and asked her what she wanted to wear.  She, smartly, picked out this other dress GG made.


So, this morning I got out the dress again and again she said no.  But, then I said "GG made this dress for you, won't you wear it for her?"  And she said "yea".  So, we got to wear it.  Well, since it fit so well I thought I'd try to get a picture of Kayla wearing it so GG could see.  This is how well that worked!

Mama: Kayla could you stand there so I can take a picture?


Mama: Could you smile so GG can see you pretty in your dress?

Kayla: GG!  GG!  GG!

Mama: Okay, we'll try again later.  GG's not in the camera baby.

Later...

Mama: Could you smile so we can take a picture for GG?
Kayla: GG!  GG!  GG! (grabing for the camera)

Mama: Kayla, calm down.  Let me just take a picture.  Tyler wants out of his chair, could you please just stand there?
Kayla: GG!  GG!  GG!  (now crying b/c she thinks GG is in the camera, after all Nana is in the computer.)

Mama:  GG isn't in the camera.  I'm trying to take a picture of you with the camera to show GG.  I'll show you your picture but you have to let me take it first.  We'll try again later.

Later...after changing for nap time.

Mama:  Kayla look at me and smile (she turns to the side and puts her head down - the EXACT opposite of what I've asked her to do - so I have to move to the end of the changing table to get this picture.)

Mama: Okay, one last try.  Please let me take a picture of you for GG!
Mama:  Good enough!

Kayla: Sit?
Mama: WHATEVER!

So, 7 pictures over the course of 2.5 hours and I didn't get a single full length one of her smiling!  One of these oughta work though, right???

  1. That's an awesome little dress! Dress and model are both beautiful, even without a proper smile.
