So Modeling is Out of the Question

I was hanging out in the backyard last weekend trying to let Katie get some energy out since we've been stuck inside so much with the cold. We played CHASE mixed with Hide and Seek (her favorite combo lately). We took a break to take some quick pictures.

This is what I got when I asked her to "smile for Mommy please." Funny little body positioning and crooked, totally fake, and coerced smile.

 

So I told her to relax. As if she could grasp the concept of relaxing. When she didn't move, I said "relax" again and flopped my arms out by my side to demonstrate relaxing. Then, this happened.

 

On the other hand, she does seem to be really good at having that far off look that models are so good at.
