Dearest Zachary,
For future reference, when Mommy and Daddy take time to make an appointment and plan to spend too much money on professional pictures to be taken of you, it would be nice if you could perhaps smile….once or twice….during the entire session. Or at the very least the crying and hysterics that ensued today could be minimized.
In your defense, the “professional” photographer was nothing more than a girl with a fancy camera who insisted on calling your name over and over in her shrill voice as though that somehow would stop the tears. And in Her defense she did manage to get a few good shots even though I think you only actually smiled smirked once, and in that one picture I’m pretty sure you can see the goldfish I had just shoved into your mouth to pacify you. In all the rest you are either chewing or crying.
And yet somehow I look at these pictures and think about how cute you are. No worries, Zach–we bought a membership to JC Penney. So we can try again next time. Ok?
Love,
Mommy
