My 4year old son stole my camera this morning...

You know that feeling you get as a parent when it's a little too quiet in the house?
I went to investigate and found my little chump coin collector with my camera.

He looks up all innocent like... I said "You know my camera is not a TOY" He says "I know, I just wanted to take some pictures
of my coin collection." image


Here's some shots he took.

And then I found these...

Here's the culprit.

    He's already better than half of the sellers on eBay! Probably smarter than them, too. image

    The dog has put up with two kids pulling ears, tackling, bear hugging and chasing all over the house & yard. She's old & tired like me. image

    That is cute. The toe shot made me laugh! Photos are not too bad. Show him a couple of tricks and he may be better than youimage

    I was taking a photo of a bird in Yellowstone last summer and my eight year old wanted to try taking a photo, his photo turned out the best of all of themimage

    Kids are priceless, aren't they?! Love the dog's picture and the toe. Funny how that silly picture of the toe has made so many of us giggle! (admit it guys, you DID giggle, just a little, I know you did!) I have 4 grandkids, ages 7, 4, 3, and 2, and they're always doing something original that makes us laugh!

    Great post! I love how he easily made the switch from coins, to dog, to cat, to hand! If you are lucky, he will let you use his camera again.image
