this is Kristopher - "gettin' a raising"

my place to share the adventures, the ups and downs, and, of course, the incredible joys that i've experienced with parenting Kristopher over the years. i've decided to call it "raising Kristopher" because, as we southerners say, "all children need these days is a good raising.”

no pictures please!

sigh. it's getting harder and harder to get kristopher to pose for photos. i mean, since he turned 15, he does NOT want me to take pictures of him (but he can take pics of himself alone or with other folks - as seen on his myspace page). what's with this new shyness? is it really shyness or is it that he doesn't want me (his mom) to take his photos anymore? OR is it that he really thinks that he actually IS a celebrity and feels that i am stalking him a la the paparazzi? it's not like i hide in the bushes and pounce on him every time he changes clothes like the paps do britney spears. i don't get embarrassing photos of him on the toilet or anything crass like that. i simply like to take photos of him when he looks nice or is doing something funny.

like on sunday.
on sunday, kristopher looked very handsome in his all black that he wore to church. i was actually so surprised that his suit still fit. he looked so good in it that i wanted a picture of the momentous occasion.

and this is what i got:now tell me, was that even necessary? and at church no less! good grief! do you think that he wants me to start snapping away while he is asleep?

i was quick on the draw though and managed to at least snap this photo:
