The Underage Models of Penguin Place

| Written by admin1 |
For quite some time, I've been trying to coax my four year old daughter Sophie into modeling some of my kids penguin gear for the website. Sure, that's her looking happy with some penguin puppet when she was 8 months old, but after years of everyone from me to my parents, aunts, uncles and cousins wanting to take her picture, looking into the lens of a camera is one of her least favorite things to do. I suppose this happens with first children sometimes, but I still wish I could have gotten her to pose with her penguin Halloween costume just once. Then a couple of weeks ago her favorite cousins (Tyler and Julia) came by for visit, and I didn't have to ask those guys twice if they wanted to be in the Penguin Place Catalog. Tyler's the boy with the big grin wearing the Kids Cozy Winter Hat and Julia is modeling the Kids Mr. Penguin Hat. Well, if seeing her older cousins on the website doesn't motivate Sophie, nothing will. The very next day Sophie pleaded with me to model a penguin hat of her own, which resulted in the fuzzy picture of a smiling Sophie donning the Kids Frosty Winter Hat. Then, wouldn't ya know it, a shipment of our new kids baby bibs arrives, which led to the first photo session of our latest hatchling, little Rose Bennett. With Rose looking extra adorable modeling both the boys and girls penguin bibs (at 5 months I figure the kid can pass either way), it wasn't long before Sophie was jolted back into action and out of her short lived penguin-voguing retirement. First, Sophie posed with our just added to the line kids penguin suspenders, which she loved so much she wore them for 48 hours straight, including while in pajamas (the suspender wearing streak was finally broken by a bath). The following morning Sophie insisted on modeling something else, anything else actually, so we tried on the new penguin apron. You can tell by Sophie's crazy "morning hair" that this picture was indeed taken first thing in the morning (also notice in the photo she's still wearing her suspenders under the apron). So now with the Kidswear section tally Sophie 3 pictures, Rose 2, and cousins Tyler and Julia one a piece, everything is as it should be as far as Sophie's world is concerned. Now, if only she'd stop wearing those suspenders to bed.
