My kid can use the camera.

Simonpictures3


It was only a matter of time my friends.


Today marks the day that Simon took his first shots with the camera for REAL. And he gets it.


And he says,


"we did it."


"say click." (from Diego)


"take picture of mama."


And here are some of his results:


Simonspictures


(nice trucker hat huh? thanks Andria)


And then he got frustrated because he needed to push the button harder, threw the camera on the floor, and got into a bit of trouble with mom and dad. Now he keeps saying, "camera," and "camera over there." No more for tonight little dude.


Tomorrow sounds good.

    Gotta love it!! My Seany stole my camera away for a day and took over 100 pictures of Toy Story (VHS playing on TV). I kept some of the really good pictures. Simon definitely has "the eye".

    That's pretty darn good picture-taking! Far better than the photos my eight-year-old cousin took of his pet turtle. Shel was totally missing the concept of being still until after the picture is finished.

    So cool, A! Em just got a spiffy Barbiesque digi for her birthday and (bad mom) hasn't opened it yet. I'm now inspired to let her and Cam loose with it and see what great shots they get!

    Looks pretty good--you might have a photog on your hands!! : )
    I saw some pictures from your weekend in Iowa--and I TOTALLY NEED THAT 'Cornfed' shirt you wore! Did you get it there? So cool--and glad that the trucker hat you wore is in the all-important green & yellow!!! : )

    Our boys got their own digi cameras for Christmas, they include the ability to do video clips. THAT has been all the rage here. I was even video'd playing Connect 4 (this is NOT an exciting video).
    Check out Toyr R Us, they have some digi cameras for kids that are pretty sturdy and not too expensive. Might be a good choice for your auteur.
    Zeb has started building little movie sets and making his own movies, including outtakes and behind the scenes footage. Too funny, and makes me feel great that he has found another way to express his creative side.
    Go Simon go!

    A- Loved these pictures Simon took. Put a big smile on my face. It is great to know that he is taking up some of his mom's creativeness! Kids take some pretty good pictures. My girlfriend gave her daughter a little disposable camera and all we heard for 32 clicks was "say cheese", "smile"...tee hee.. We then realized how we sound to them when trying to get them to sit still for just a sec....for that all needed picture :) LOVE the John Deere hat...it is the only kind to have.. Good job Simon... Keep it up little buddy.
