I posted one of these photos earlier, but its fascinating looking at the sequence of events as it makes you realise how clever young kids are.

Most of these have zero post processing so please excuse those.

Photo 1 - Santa's looking at me, I'm happy.

Santa isn't looking at me. Need to think of a plan to get Santa's attention.

Oh, look. My hat "accidentally" fell off. Santa, help me

Mission Accomplished. Am I gloating?

She's my daughter. I'm already scared. I feel even more sorry for her husband one day.

I think you know your daughter well :D

I'd start being scared right now :D

She has the most incredibly expressive face, so it is a pleasure to see the photos showing such a range of emotions. :)

She has more emotions than I would like at times :D as the tantrum stage started a couple of months ago. She's in the terrible 2's stage, I believe it can be the terrible 2's, 3's and 4's with some kids, but we'll have to wait and see.

Hey Athol,
Definately got yourself a master there :nod: Makes you wonder where they learn the arts of manipulation, I reckon they are born with them ;)
So buckle up, put your stern face on (If you can :D ) & enjoy the ride

Cheers Cargo

My daughter's 32yo and still gets her own way every (EVERY!!) time :D

MM - been there, done that - these are just forerunners to the terrible 5's to 30's :D
