Bean has an appointment to get her picture taken at JC Penney today. It’s been months and months since I’ve had a “real” picture taken of her (You know, one that doesn’t show empty Diet Pepsi cans in the background or Dim in his boxers) and we’re overdue for new ones.
I have a cute little dress picked out for her, and her cousin Earen has a matching outfit to wear to take pictures with her. So everything should go fine, right?
Sigh.
Bean woke up with extra special electrified hair this morning. At the best of times, what little hair she has looks like it’s making a break for it, like it can flee her little skull and float about until it finds some other baby’s head, but this morning’s arrangement was extra special. Think: Einstein meets Phil Spector meets Buckwheat.
Just wet it down and tame it a little, Jen. Thanks, interior monologue. I’m so glad I have you around to point out the OVERLY OBVIOUS AND NEVER EFFECTIVE solution. Plus, she doesn’t sit still long enough for me to attempt anything involving a hair dryer or hair spray.
Plus, she taught herself to jump off the top of the mini fridge this morning. Of course, she didn’t do it well, and didn’t land on her feet at all, so now we have a nice purple bruise on her pale little forehead just waiting to be photographed.
Oh, and did I mention the explosive diarrhea that showed up today? And did I mention that I discovered it by feeling it dripping down my forearm as I picked her up out of a pile of live electrical cords and power strips? No? Well, today has been FUN.
At least I’ll have photographic evidence.
Wish me luck.
So... How did the pics come out? Even with poopy pants, Einstien hair and bruises she's still the cutest thing around!
