That cool rainbow cap

From time to time, April appears in our home wearing this jaunty little rainbow-colored knit cap. No one seems to know where it goes when it is not in use and, although I am sure there is a perfectly good explanation as to its origins, I am unaware of how it came to be in April's possesion. The last few times it has shown up, I thought it would be cute to take a few pictures of her wearing it. Unfortunately, each time I try this, in the time it takes me to collect the camera, the cap disappears. No amount of questioning or finagling can convince her to produce it. She simply gives a blank stare and affects an air of ignorance that isn't the least bit believable, but is irresistible. After a slew of near misses, today I finally got the hat, the kid, and the camera in the same room. The pictures below are an illustration of the challenges one might encounter when photographing a two-year-old in a cool rainbow cap.

This goes to show that there is a limited number of pictures that can be taken in our house before the interlopers begin to show up...
