Snapping a posed photograph of one grandchild can be a challenge. They never really want to do what you want them to do. Then add two more grandchildren into the mix and they all have their own ideas of where to look - everywhere except at the camera! So how do you finally get a good photo of three grandchildren all looking in the same direction at the same time. Simple: You take lots and lots of photos (105, to be exact) and, if you are lucky, one will turn out to be the perfect photo.
The first challenge is to get them in the same place at the same time. They all have different nap schedules, so when one is up, the others are down and vice versa. And then there are cranky times, teething, and just plain stubbornness, both on the part of the grandchild and, I dare say, on the part of the photographer. Short attention spans are also a problem, and the grandchildren start to wander off. Parents chase them down and put them back into position. In the process, one of them disappears. 
The end result? A lot of absolutely hilarious photos and, maybe, a few really good ones.
And, ultimately, the best ones usually turn out to be the ones you took earlier in the photo shoot.
