The Many Moods of Paris…
My sister Jeanie comes to visit here at Granite Glen occasionally – it’s always as hectic as anything, as she does some computer work for us as well as the social thing. The looking after several kids thing also keeps us busy – her daughters come with her, with Salina always looking to have a horse ride and little Paris looking to, well, be with Mummy.
Now my darling niece Paris is a woman who owns a fair poker face. I know she is not yet one, but she’s going to be unbeatable when she hits ‘Vegas, let me tell you. Those smiles I coax from her are rare and precious. It’s like an endless challenge for me. I have no shame when it comes to breaking that solemn expression. And I sometimes manage to tempt them out by peek-a-boo games behind the camera…
Want to see how?
How sad is this face? Breaks my blinkin’ heart…
I think something tragic had happened – Mummy might have walked out of the room for three seconds…
Oh look – a crazy lady behind a camera!
A REAL SMILE!
(It’s like winning Lotto!)
And then… it’s gone.
As fleeting as snowflakes in a Queensland summer.
Lucky I have the photos to prove it happened.
(Jeanie, I shall keep these aside for those teenage years – and maybe the 21st?)
-oooooo-
Lots of love to my poker-faced Paris.

Awww – gorgeous photos yet again.
Jeannie – stop reading NOW
(and thankfully you are a much better photographer of young Paris than your sister … possibly because she’d have to put her down to take a photo;)

That first image is gorgeous! That big fat tear rolling down her cheek. I hit the floor. She is so beautiful. I can’t get over those big dark eyes. Oh and Kelly is right, those teeth are so stinking cute!
