I can't believe he's cooperating...

A few minutes ago I realized I hadn't taken my POTD so I told my son to go put on his new hat and scarf...and I'd take his picture...he actually cooperated....around here we don't usually need a hat/scarf very often because it's usually 50s or 60s this time of year....today the windchill had us in the teens...brrrr.....I'm from Northern MN originally so I shouldn't be such a wuss but after 9+ years in Southeastern NC the teens feels pretty darn chilly...

In any case...my cutie boy wanted one shot his way..hanging off his bunk bed ladder and I wanted one shot my way...me standing on the ladder taking a pic of him sitting on the floor...I'm trying to work more on my angles and different positions to take pics from....so I'm quite pleased with this one....I was trying to get him to laugh instead of doing the "cheese" smile and gritting his teeth together ...

Thanks for stopping by and as always, thank you for any comments/feedback....

Good for you for getting out of your comfort zone. And smart, for giving him a shot for getting one.

I love reading all the comments you get on your photos! It makes me proud to have such a cute nephew! LOL.

I really like the colors in this one. I love the color of the background against the brown that Anthony is wearing. He looks so warm and cozy even though it's cold outside. ;)
