captivating

While we were eating at one of the cafés in Sea World, I saw the cutest little boy with the most amazing, captivating eyes. The crazy, photographer part of me started to come out and I was itching to take his picture. I asked Matt if he thought I should approach the parents and ask them if I could take a picture of their son, but he wasn't very sure about the whole thing. The parents looked Indian and we weren't sure how they'd feel about a stranger taking a picture of their boy and then posting it on the internet. After a few minutes, I decided to just ask them. What was the worst thing that could happen? They might say no and I'd just go back to my table a bit embarrassed, but then I'd get over it. So I did, and they said yes! I told them I'd send them an 8x10 of the picture and they seemed to be happy. This little boy was such an angel. I'm happy with the picture I snapped of him. I think the picture stays true to his stunning eyes. (I also tried to take a few of him and his younger brother, but wasn't very successful. I didn't have enough time to make the youngster feel very comfortable around me.) The only thing I'm lamenting is that the boys mother noted her address on a napkin and somehow through all the junk in my diaper bag it got lost. I feel horrible. So now I'm hoping they still have my information and contact me so I can send them their pictures.
