I took several pictures of dd with her friends at her birthday party. There were pictures of them playing, while they were singing happy birthday, while she was opening cards/presents.

I'm trying to post pictures this morning, and I notice SD is in just about every picture (as usual) she will see a camera and make sure she positions herself where ever she knows she will be photographed the most (ie right next to birthday child). Which I find humorous. Dh is actually the one who pointed this out to me about her. And good for her for wanting to have pictures taken of herself, I am totally camera shy.

I wouldn't mind, as long as everyone is happy and having fun, sure, get in as many pictures as you want. The problem is, she's looking bored off her ass, or pouting in every single one of these pictures. Now, instead of just posting the pictures, I have to go and crop them and make sure they aren't awkwardly cropped. THEN I can post them. But then dh will be pissed that I did that, and I'll have to explain that I didn't want to post pictures of SD that are negative. Then probably I will have to show him all the original pictures of her. So he can see for himself. She looks as if she's rolling her eyes, hunched over, sitting with her head resting on her hands with a grimace on her face.

Before the party we went looking at horses and riding lessons, at camp she got to ride horses and really liked it. She talked about how this one horse, that they said typically only the counselors got to ride, really liked her. She was worried that she was going to be scared of riding the horses, but she did really well. This was the whole conversation from Saturday to Sunday right before the party... she didn't let anyone else talk basically. So now it's time for something to be about someone else, and she gets so upset that's it's ruining the pictures... if your not having fun, go do something else. Don't be front row, go do something else.

Oh well off to the editing room.
