I am about two months late in capturing Philip as a two year old, but I grabbed my camera on my way out to play with him this morning in the hopes that I would capture a few moments of him being himself.  I already attempted this once during Christmas while the kids were all decorating their gingerbread house.  I grabbed the camera in hopes i would catch Philip unaware.  Well, I am not sure that is possible with a large SLR in your hands, to go unnoticed that is, and as soon as he saw me he started yelling, “no take picture me mommy…. I mack you” .  Note that mack is not a typo, but smack in his two year old english.  And when I didn’t put down the camera, smack me he did.

Today he started to protest his picture being taken again, but I did what any good mother would do in that situation….. I promised him candy!
