So each year I corral him on to the carousel at the Fair and try to get a "good one." At the 2009 Westmoreland Co. Fair, it worked pretty well. Not a favorite, but a great demonstration on what a difference a year makes. He had fun and was proud of himself for riding alone (mostly).
I didn't even post the 2010 picture - cooperate child! Please look at Daddy, please smile, for Mommy? This is the BEST one. I-am-a-zombie-and you-will-never-see-a-smile-or-acknowledgement-from-me kid!
I try to go with the flow, but I admitted always have ulterior motives. Arriving at the Fair this year, I wanted the 2011 picture. I had to BEG my 3 and a half year to ride the carousel. Standing in line I figured I was doomed and started to talk myself into the horrible truth. He's too big. He will not cooperate. He has moved on, and so should I! So, what does he do? The stinker gives me a great picture (despite being dark and not the best do to the use of my cellphone camera - tahnks to leaving the camera SD card at home...)!
Thank you Dylan for indulging your mother! Thank you for showing me how big you are and how much you've changed. Thank you for still riding the carousel with (for) me. I love you Bubby.
