For the most part, Angelina hates to get dressed up in new "Sunday" dresses. Although she typically really enjoys the results, she despises the change that wearing something new necessarily involves. On a recent Sunday when Julene dressed Angelina in the outfit, below, she had an absolute fit. Being the nice and compassionate father that I am, I told Angelina that I was going to get out the camera and start taking pictures.

At first, I wasn't certain that my brilliant scheme was going to work, but then the tears started to dry up.

The hint of a smile replaced the pout.

Then, mischief returned to her expression.

Donning the hat caused seemed to cause a reset of emotions.

However, it didn't take long for her to reboot.

Soon, Angelina's inner ham took over.

In the end, our little girl's happy disposition returned and we were free of drama for the rest of the morning, without having to resort to any disciplinary measures.
