    & what answers do you give?
    We lived in Hawaii when keilah was a toddler and Japanese tourists CONSTANTLY wanted to take her picture. When we were back on the mainland, my kids were once again mainstream, until we took the whole crew to Butchard Gardens in Victoria, BC when the twins were babies. We were met by a group of Tawaianese (I think I spelled that wrong…) tourists who were practically paparazzi towards the twins. It was CRAZY!!
    xo!

      Isn’t it crazy?? I used to think it was cute, but now I hate how people swarm and pester the kids. We used to let people take photos, but learned that it always involves them trying to grab/hug/pick Amie or Judah up. And the kids hate it. So we now say photos are okay but no touching the kids. Sheesh.

      As for the last two questions: “I’m not comfortable answering that.” 🙂
