ella

day 94/365
the day she asked if i would take her picture

she normally doesn't like it when i take her picture. ok, correction, she acts like any other 4 year old would act when i try to take her picture. all i have to ask her to do is stand there and suddenly, she has to hug me. or tell me she loves me. or go to the bathroom. or move just as i'm about to press the shutter. or just doesn't even look at me. this time was different though. this time she ASKED me to take her picture. i said "are you sure?" she replied "yes" and sat down (??!!) where i asked her to (???!!!) and stayed there (???!!!!!) until i said "thank you ella, mommy's finished now."
