Picture Day

Today was school picture day. Not only do we upset the kids by disrupting their entire routine, but then we plop them in front of a stranger and expect them to smile about it. They were actually pretty good about it. Only a few needed a lot of encouragement. On the other hand, only a few smiled. Trying to get a class picture took some major effort. I had to hold my most active boy firmly on my lap. He tried to squirm out the entire time. He's also been conditioned to hold up his "V for Victory" whenever he sees a camera, like every other kid in Taiwan, so I had to pin his arms down. If we get a picture with everyone looking at the camera, it will be a miracle.

Here's a picture of Michael waiting for his turn with his class.
