ironstruck @ironstruck (2298) • Canada 31 Mar 07

First of all, it takes a lot of physical and mental energy to chase after small kids. Do you really think that at 50 something is wise to be taking this on? Say the husband is 52 and his wife is 30. It seems that the burden would...

mamaof4toddlers I love when children do those little momentums that you will never forget. I remember my 3rd would always cry when we watched ice age and the tiger woulds say where's the baby? I thought it was so cute.

sunshine4 @sunshine4 (8703) • United States 19 Mar 07

poppoppop111 @poppoppop111 (5731) • Canada 19 Mar 07

how much candy do you let your kids eat. my daughter will eat some chocolate once in a while but she's not big on any of the chewy candy's. so i'd say a little chocolate i a week of every other week is all she really eats, but she...

mamaof4toddlers I try not give alot. My kids won't even finish a lolly pop they are not that big on candy and I think thats because I never gave it to them all the time or everytime they ask for it. They usually get it after earning it and sometimes as a treat. claire

For me kids are the most challenging subject in photography, especially doing a child's portrait. How about you what's your opinion on this matter.

mamaof4toddlers I think it all depends on the child. and how young they are when they are itsy bitsy they just sleep. when they get older they get more difficult but with patience you shouldn't have a problem I have 4 girls and all love to have their picture taken.
