So this is Lillian!

I'm not going to lie;  Lillian wasn't super pleased to meet me last week.  When her mom and grandma pulled up in the parking early, she ran for the playground right away; SO; when I arrived a few minutes later she was less than thrilled to learn I was the reason she was being pulled away from her newfound surroundings.

It was so funny how quickly she turned around, however. I got SUCH a kick out of her!  Once she accepted she wasn't going to win this one, she surrendered with an, "OK; Let's get this thing done" attitude, and diligently marched in the direction of our bridge backdrop.

She was just hamming it up for about 25 minutes; laughing and running and posing and smiling.  She also had to check out the back of my camera quite a few times to make sure I was doing a good job.  "Let me see... Let me see..."  She seemed pleased with the results. 

(What a doll!)

And then;  Just as quickly as she started, she decided she was done.  When pretending to fall asleep in the grass didn't stop me from pressing the shutter button, she handed me my camera bag (...really!) and said goodbye. 

Then she began her trek back to the playground.
