>Little Man had a fever of 102.2 on the day we were to go for Christmas card photos. Gloop was dripping at a constant rate out of his little nose. I should have canceled… I thought about canceling…any good Mom would cancel, right? But I was afraid I would never get my cards out in time if we didn’t go – and they were pretty much booked for the next week.
So I bathed him, dressed him, bundled him off… what the hell. Yea, I was that Mom. I probably left a nice trail of germy slime over every surface of the photo place. The next 5 kids after us are probably falling ill as we speak. Whoops!
I was pretty sure these pictures would be a bust, figuring he would be cranky and uncooperative.
But nope!!!!!!!!!!!
The actual Christmas card photo isn’t one of these, I didn’t want to ruin the surprise for the grandma’s….but it is puuurdy cute too!
It is insanity how much I love this kid.

>Awesome! What beautiful curls!

>Oh my…can you say ADORABLE!?!I think you did the right thing by cleaning him up and taking him in…you'd never know he was sick.Hope he's on the mend by now…
>Oh that boy! So cute! Looks like he has a little glimmer of mischief, though. Look out for those mischievous redheads, mama. love.
