Jett Got a Hold of the Camera

Sometimes you'll do anything to get your kid to put on his shoes, to get in his car seat, to sit down in the grocery cart, to leave play group - geesh - all the other kids left quickly and quietly twenty minutes ago, let's get moving!!

What I've done a few times lately, which I said I'd never do, is let Jett take pictures with my cell phone. I cringe, I hand it over, I cringe, and the moment starts to get a little easier. Later, when he isn't looking, I sneak my phone back and scroll through all of the pictures he's taken. Sometimes they tell a little story of our day.

(I just reread this post, and realize there are probably more pictures here than necessary, but hey, he's my babe, and he takes good pictures)!

No wonder he always wants to ride in the front seat. The view is so much better up there.

It's hard to be so short.

the photographer himself

He loved that meat display.

Have I mentioned that even though we bought this car in August, 

he still calls it the "newww car"? See his reflection in the door?

This staircase isn't nearly so ethereal in real life, but maybe in Jett's eyes...

Getting abstract at play group.

Caught talking to another kid at play group.

This is the picture that started his camera obsession. I had to get a picture of that hair, and he had to get a picture of everything else.
