Your post made me laugh . We used to refer to Hannah

as " intense " as well, and that was putting it mildly! She screamed

so much during her castings that after the first 3 she fell asleep

in the tub afterward every time! Her pictures were actually the

worst as she got older though. It cracks me up looking back at

them. You can see what I mean in her progress photo folder on her

website. I always felt so bad for the people at CT on photo day!

We were used to her personality, but they were not, lol. When we

the set done to try and evaluate her for regression it was a

nightmare b/c they were trying to recreate the exact angles of her

previous exit photos. Now she is almost three though and much

easier to negotiate with!
