Give a Little Independence

How can you give your toddler a little independence for photos?  Giving a little independence is one of the best tricks for engaging toddlers!  Mom let this little one choose her own outfit for the photo shoot (and seriously, I can’t imagine a BETTER outfit!  PINK TUTU!!! DONE!!).  Choosing their own clothes for the photo shoot is a GREAT idea at this age!  But it didn’t stop there, if your kid likes to be fancy, you can get them either a dress or made-to-measure suits to be as elegant as possible.  When her little one saw the bench, she made it known that she wanted to stand on it Alone with a capital A.  With mom sitting close by, we decided to see where that little independence would lead.   By being a little hands-off (with mom still sitting close by), this precious moment unfolded.
