Half Minute of Fame

James decided to turn down his opportunity for 1/2 a minute of fame today.
 
James was referred to Public Affairs as a child for their current SickKids Foundation video, which can also be used for other public affairs, including on posters, webpages, etc.  They were just doing short little clips of kids smiling while receiving a SickKids Teddy.  Unfortunately James paniced when they came in the room ... "no pictures, no pictures" ... which turned into deSATing and then almost throwing up.  I couldn't get him to settle or convince him it was okay, so that was it for his chance of fame.
 
I asked the nurse how a child was "referred' and she said they probably just asked the head nurse for a cute kid.  There was one other one done on our Ward who was also considered "cute".  Compliment for our child, unfair for the not so cute children who spend just as much time here.

True true, but really James is so cute to look at but is such a sweet heart inside as well. I would have picked him too.

Speaking of cute kids...I was meaning to tell you that I LOVE the picture of James on your blog. His so blue eyes peeking out from under the hat. Too cute! May God continue to give you all peace, strength and comfort!

Well the head nurse was definitely right when she referred James... he is such a cutie!!
And of course James got his cuteness from the Vanmiddelkoops Aunt Heather... where do you think my cuteness came from? just kidding...
