Hippity Hoppity, Easter's on its way!

After a week of sickness, we finally embraced Easter's visit and went to visit with the Easter Bunny himself, although Bailey's convinced it's just somebody in a costume and that the real Easter Bunny has just been too busy to hang out in the mall for photographs. I'm guessing she's possibly right. But nonetheless, she posed for this marvelous photo. And while we're on the subject, she did AWESOME today at the mall. Now, perhaps she wouldn't wear the dress I asked her to and debated that the outfit she was wearing was "just fine," but she waited patiently in line as other parents directed the photographer and took their nice, sweet time picking and choosing photos and insulting the photographer by telling him they could probably do his job, but do it better. They also expected the perfect picture of their not-so-enthusiastic child and didn't care if the rest of us had to wait a decade for that to happen.

Anyhow, Bailey waited wonderfully, and when it was her turn, she proudly approached the Easter Bunny, crawled up onto his lap and smiled big for the camera. I was thoroughly impressed and the photographer was taking pictures, and then his computer crashed. (Everything is digital these days, in case you didn't know.) The photographer tried again and the computer was still angry so he had to restart it and walked up to Bailey and whispered an apology in her ear, which was nice of him. It took a while, but he finally got it running again and all the while, Bailey just sat with Mr. Bunny, hugging him and smiling and having a grand ol' time. The photographer was concerned, but she didn't mind a bit. She liked her quality time with Mr. E. (Meanwhile, I would've been taking pictures, but I realized once we got in line that I had left my camera in the car.) He snapped his shots and then we were finished and the photographer told Bailey she'd been the best child he had and gave her a special present for her patience and behavior. He also couldn't believe I wasn't double checking his photos or had asked for him to take extra pictures. Eh, he did just fine. Wouldn't you agree?
