America's Next Top Model?

Brooklyn or Olivia. Who will it be?

First, we'll talk about Brooklyn. Do you know how embarrassing it is as a parent to have your child ask someone to go find a camera to take pictures of them. Better yet, she tells them to come in the living room, she wants her pictures taken on the couch. Last weekend we were at some friends' house for a Fantasy Football draft. The moms/wives were watching all the kids while the dads/husbands/guys did their beloved draft. Brooklyn goes up to Sandy and asks her if she would find a camera to take some pictures of her. Seriously? Where does she get that? She proceeded to pose for a series of photos. It was...something. I'm just thankful she left her clothes on!
As for Olivia, we got a call on Tuesday asking if Olivia would be interested in being in the Children's Hospital of Illinois calendar. Of course she would be interested! We travelled to East Peoria today for a little photo shoot and she'll be featured on the cover of the 2009 calendar! The gal that took the pictures did an awesome job. They will be having an "unveiling" in October so we'll get to see the finished product.
Regardless, I think they are both pretty cute. I do think, however, it's probably better to have someone come to you to request photographs than to go around requesting others to take your picture?!?
