It’s Getting Harder…

It’s getting harder and harder to take pictures and videos of Esther. She’s recently discovered the camera. Not “discovered” in the sense that she wants to get it down and play with it. No, she’s discovered that there are pictures on the back of it. She’s discovered that when she sees someone using the camera, she can run up and look at the pictures on the back. More and more of our pictures and videos just show a girl running towards the viewer.

I'm Just Playing in My BoxTake yesterday, for example. Over the weekend, I brought up a large box from the basement. Esther decided that it was a great toy, so we left it upstairs for her. Yesterday, she was playing in it and I wanted to snap a few photos. Far easier said than done.

She noticed that I was using the camera and she quickly got up and ran towards me to see what the display on the back was showing.

Notice the camera... get up...and go charging towards it.

I put the camera away and we both tried to distract her and get her interested in the box again. I was hoping to snap some pictures while she wasn’t paying attention. Alas, it wasn’t to be.

She ran into the box, hit the back wall, turned around and noticed the camera. Then she came charging right back out to see what was going on.
Run in...hit the wall...notice the camera...and come charging out.
