This picture was taken on our trip to Australia in 2003. As you can see, Cameron was feeling a little tired from our day of walking and touring. He tends to have a flare for drama, in case you hadn't noticed. I'm pretty sure he wanted to go back to the hotel at this point. I, however, was going to make sure we made the most of every moment, especially since it took us 21 hours on an airplane to get there!
What I love about this picture is the total difference in body language between the two boys. It seems to reflect their personalities. Ed and I have always marveled at how two children who are raised by the same parents, in the same house, with the same rules, values, and expectations can be sooooo different. One is organized, the other is not. One can be a morning person (when necessary), the other can not (no matter what). One is meticulous, the other is not. One likes to try new food, the other doesn't like his food messed with.
Fortunately, both have a great sense of humor, which is a must in our household. Learning to laugh at yourself makes life so much easier and more fun.
