I have a lot of pics with different angles and I am not sure this one is my best but I love the story behind this photo. In this shot my son was at his preschool's Farm Day 2008 (hence the scarecrow getup). I better start by telling you what happened the Farm Day held the year before. Lukas was entranced by the rooster. He wouldn't leave that area and watched a long time as other children came around and held the big fluffy bird. After what seemed like an eternity he finally mustered up enough moncho to hold the bird himself. The rooster lady carefully placed the bird in my son's arms and immediately the bird started to flap its wings, make crazy noises and flail his skinny little clawy feet. My son fell back and the rooster ran away. It was kinda funny until Lukas got up with a big scratch on his face and a look of terror. He wouldn't stop crying. Anyway, the next year my son looked the enormous bird in the eye and held his gaze for minutes. He conquered his fear and eventually held the rooster again. I am glad I was there to catch that moment.
Hop on over to i heart faces for lots of great angles
