I don't like taking pictures!

Ethan is not a smile alot type of kid in front of a camera. He's not really camera shy. He just doesn't like to look directly at or smile at a black box that flashes.

If I'm a 1 year old kid; I would probably have the same attitude toward a camera. We've taken hundreds of pictures (probably into the thousands now). These are some where we manage to get Ethan to look at the camera.

The hope that I can "groom" him into the next top male model is fading.

Just be happy. That's what papa wants for you, Ethan. Be a decent human being is probably more important than making it into Singapore Idol.
