Sibling Rivalry

I have, for the last three months, been trying to get a good picture of the kids together. I even went so far as to have professional pictures taken, only to find out that even professionals struggle to get a toddler to cooperate with having her smiling picture taken next to a baby.

The problem is not getting the two of them framed in the same shot. And I've given up caring if both of them are smiling, much less looking at the camera at the same time. The problem is that every time Abby is close enough to Caleb for his hand or foot to accidentally touch her, she pushes the offending appendage away and yells "Go!" as if he should understand and respect her personal space issues.

If I can snap the picture quick enough, I can catch them before Caleb invades his sister's personal space and before Abby realizes he's sitting so close. And voilà...a decent picture is born!
