From a Kid's Perspective

For Christmas, Jonah and Kate both got their own digital cameras. These are the Fisher-Price "Kid-Tough" cameras, which claim to be able to withstand any crazy form of abuse that could possibly be thrust upon them by small children (so far, so good).
The kids have been taking pictures ever since the big day, but Jonah recently hit #300 on his memory card, so he wanted to celebrate with a blog post. It really is fun to see what the kids consider to be photo-worthy.
Kate:
A funny-faced Aunt Brittany
Mom

Herself---we found that self-portraits are Kate's favorite subject

I thought this was interesting--it shows just how tall an adult can look to a 3-yr-old

Another self-portrait

Uncle Michael and Jonah; Next to herself, Kate mostly likes to take pictures of Jonah
Jonah:
Jonah likes to take pictures of his toys and things he likes around his room (such as his rug)

Jonah's shadow

Silly Uncle Michael--he does a good job posing for his niece and nephew (oh wait...I think is just his natural look)

Kate--another one of Jonah's favorite subjects
Jonah's self-portrait

Tom and Jerry on t.v.--he has a lot of shots of his favorite shows

Ms. Diana, his preschool teacher (he took the camera to show and tell once)
This is just a sampling of their many, many efforts at photography. I think we have some budding artists on our hands...perhaps we'll have a Pulitzer in our future? (Or maybe a career as paparazzi?)

My favorite top 3 pics: (in no particular order)
1- you smiling - it think it's a good picture of you (so often we don't have pics of Moms!
2 - Jonah's Shadow (I have a fond memory of walking one day with B and her realizing her shadow and her joy that was expressed).
3 - the upward shot of you holding Lincoln with your comment - sometimes I try to remember to BEND DOWN - GET EYE LEVEL!! (:
Thank them for sharing their pictures!!!

Loved this. Cant wait to see more of the kids picture in the future. Have them bring the cameras to OR. That would be fun.
