Reid’s new camera

The problem with giving a two year-old a digital camera is that the child is two. Reid seems to like her new camera. She enjoys the sound of it turning on and sometimes will take a picture. Unfortunately, though, (from my point of view) she also enjoys the sound it makes when she deletes a picture and since there is also a visual change, she prefers to do this over turning it on and off and even more than taking pictures, I think. I read the manual to see if there was a parental override that would let me turn off the “feature”. I wonder if the people who designed it considered that small children might respond a Reid does to the sound? As long as we don’t capture the only photo of her learning to ride an elephant on her camera, we’ll be okay. Ken will probably say it will provide me with a good opportunity to not be so controlling. ;+)
