God bless those other two- they just pose as agreeably as can be. I snapped 2 pictures this morning on our way out of the house, because it was just so photo-opportunity perfect with the first snowfall. In the other photo Henry is looking up, but grimacing- looks like he's crying. Sigh.It's not so much that he doesn't like getting his picture taken (although that is a part of it), but he really seemed freaked out by the snow today- didn't want it touching him. Quite a difference from most kids around here who couldn't wait to get out in it today.
The woman who drove Henry to school in kindergarten used to call him "Prince Henry" because he was just so regal in the way he carried himself and the way he always wanted things just so. He was definitely Prince Henry this morning- the snow is touching my boots! Aaack- the snow is on my neck!
Just in case you're wondering how Henry's day went yesterday (after my morning freak-out), his communication notebook entry for yesterday read:
"Rough day- refused work most of the day. Wouldn't attempt activities in APE and got aggressive with [the APE teacher]. Rest of the day was about the same."
Let's hope for a better day today- the only morning torture was making him get his picture taken :-)

Eek I can't even imagine - we have enough freakiness with rain - snow would send them ballistic.
Best wishes
This is my calling card or link"Whittereronautism"until blogger comments get themselves sorted out.
It would have been a perfect photo if only he was looking up. I know the feeling all too well.
I've given up on the Christmas card. Too much pressure. For all of us. Hope tomorrow is a better day!
Dude, we had the Xmas photo drama for years. I feel you.
What I DO love about he photo is the tender way his beautiful sister is holding him, and the sweetness and patience of the other two. It says alot about the family dynamic.
I like the whole Prince Henry thing; that his preferences are an issue of his regal stature, rather than a "problem".
Also, I'm so over the daily communication thing with the teacher. It gives me agita. I got a similar report today, and I truly think that the weather, the holidays place so much strain on the kids. Especially OUR kids, who feel everything so much more.
Hang in there. Those are some damned sweet kids you got there.
It's a slice of life photo-----best in my book. Candids with a messy face get the smiles around here.
Darn, the other 2 look so great! I'm still trying to capture the perfect photo of SB. If only I wanted one of the back of his head or one with his eyes shut (on purpose), I'd be all set ...
but i love the photo anyway!
i get the snow thing. i have the same thing when i'm not in the mood for it. eeeek! so cold! so unwanted!
