Birthday Benchmark Photo – 2 years 3 months




In order to achieve this month’s benchmark photo, I tried a new tack. You see, for almost a year now the process of taking the monthly benchmark photo has been very stressful. The boys just didn’t want to sit still in the chair and smile for a photograph. At first we promised and delivered treats for sitting still, and all I had to do was photoshop the cookies out of the photo. Later, when food failed to keep them both still I would photoshop two pictures together in order to achieve one photo with both boys looking reasonably good. This month I used a different approach. I promised to play their favorite choo choo video if they would sit still in the chair. While this worked, I couldn’t pry their eyes away from the screen long enough to look and smile at the camera.
