With international travel comes tiny-person passports! Like any routine interaction with the federal government, obtaining passports requires jumping through some hoops. The smaller the human the larger the hoops, it seems.
We picked up the girls from daycare and whisked them off to CVS for photos. CVS is not used to taking shots of toddlers. The girls stood on the bench with one mom clutching their ankles while the other mom jumped up and down like a trained monkey behind the camera guy.
The whole process took something like 45 minutes because all male employees converged on the camera section to try to perfect the shots. We appreciated their willingness to go above and beyond so the pictures wouldn't be rejected, but while they were at it the girls were tearing up and down the aisles knocking Funyuns and other tasty treats off the shelves. (It's pretty funny what is stocked at toddler height)
The team eventually settled on the winning shots, apparently realizing that you can't actually get the proper shoulder-to-head ratio in a toddler photo because their heads are enormous.
I guess the truth is no one looks good in a passport photo, but these really make it look like the girls just got brought downtown. In retrospect it would not have killed us to brush their hair.
