first slumber party

there are many hilarious things about this little vignette below. before these photos were taken, the two of them were calmly looking at each other, heads turned towards one other. and then my child started FREAKING OUT and that's when the photographer arrived on the scene.

first do you notice how gargantuan em looks compared to the very dainty (and clearly well adjusted) lela? it doesn't help that em has outgrown this sweet little romper and it is squeezing the fat in her arms and legs. mama knows how you feel, baby girl. mama knows.
here we've got some kicking going with lela's smile becoming a little unsure, like she is a tourist in tokyo but is slowly realizing that godzilla is standing behind her.
grimacing is intensified here with some arm flailing action (she oddly straightens and spreads her fingers when she cries), and lela wondering what in the world is wrong with big kicking baby in pink next door, and can we leave so bkbipnd doesn't accidentally kick or punch me, and can we not come back until she can control herself. not sure, yes and yes.

needless to say, the slumber party only lasted for about 5 minutes.
