It has been far too long between posts. I've been busy, that's a given, and not much but snow has happened since Christmas. But we've also started having a bit of a problem taking pictures of our kiddo. As soon as Oscar sees the camera or Flip video come out, he breaks down into a chorus of "see-see-see", grabbing at the camera to see the images on the display screen. Of course then, whatever was picture-worthy in the first place is long gone, leaving us with a very annoying almost-two year old having a fit. We've explored a range of possible solutions, from disguising the camera as something else, to putting tape over the display, to looking into toy digital cameras for kids.
I can't tell you how many of these pictures I've deleted from my camera lately.
Every now and then we manage to capture him just BEFORE he loses his toddler-cool, but these pictures are something like the pictures of a lion right before he attacks: the animal is caught a bit off-guard, and right after the flash the photographer loses an arm.
Is that a camera? I'm coming for you.
Every now and then, we manage to capture the smile that comes so easily and often to O.K. But even this one ended with a puddle of toddler on the floor. I can only hope this phase will be short-lived. In the meantime, his paparazzi parents are trying to give their picture-happy habits a rest.
