Say Cheese!

Jayden is not very camera-friendly. Which makes my role as an overexcited mom really difficult, coz everytime he does something adorable/hilarious/milestone-achieving, I'd whip out my camera phone, and he will stop in his tracks, and the moment is gone. *sigh*

This is why I have decided to just enjoy the moment without having to document everything, much to the dismay of my mom/sister/colleagues. Everytime I mention something he had done, the response stays the same, "Why never video? I wanna see!" -__-;;

There was one time, ONE precious time, where he acted differently. We were in the Polar Bear exhibition room in Sea World Gold Coast, and my mom, as usual, was shouting out instructions to my nephew to pose this way, and move a little to the right/left, to smile more, etc etc (she's quite the photo-taking dictator).

I could only assume that Jayden had watched this photo-taking ritual between my nephew Samuel and my mom enough times to realize what he should do when a camera was pointed at him. While I was discreetly trying to get an angle of him with the polar bear close behind, he caught my eye through the lens, stepped up towards me and smiled! A small shy smile at first, but he stayed in position at least. As I clicked away he started coming closer, until he was so close he grabbed my phone to examine my photo-taking skills.

So vain, this boy. XD
