If you looked at photographs from much of Reid’s childhood, you would think, “Wow, that kid goes a lot of fun places with her dad.” You might also think she does cool activities and wonder who was with her. To a large extent, I’m reluctant to give up control of the camera and Ken only occasionally takes it from me and gets me in a shot. Until…
Until Reid grew old enough to ask for the camera (expecting it to be shared) and to take pictures of both Ken and me – at the same time. All of a sudden, there we all are standing together at the top of a hill, overlooking a forest and lake at Deerhurst and Reid took a picture of Ken and me. Soon enough, the picture is printed and hung on a wall. We admire Reid’s photography skills and thank her for bringing us both into the photographic record.
Capital Mom provides a theme each Friday for these Monday Moments. Others have written about their own moments. I also wrote about other Monday Moments.
I love that she is old enough to include both of you in your adventures now. I think we need to invest in a point & shoot so Jeremy either (a) feels comfortable taking photos (he hates having to use my camera)(b) Ben can pick up the slack
Awesome! I can’t wait until I can hand over the camera and not worry about it being dropped. Or having a million feet pictures.
That’s so lovely. And I think my kids would all be happy to have their hands on a camera but I’m not sure they’d get anything but my bellybutton. Eventually!
