I use an old trick I learned many years ago... young kids absolutely LOVE seeing a grown-up mess up. After I have the kid in place and the lighting set, I "pose" the bear somewhere near the camera, making certain that the second I turn away, it falls. The second or third time that bear hits the floor, the kid is laughing out loud. Works 99.9% of the time. The ONLY time it backfired on me was when a small girl was afraid I might blame her for it. Needless to say, I shifted gears right away.
Thanks again!

That's a FANTASTIC idea Pete!
