My Little Photographer

I kept Colin home with me today.  It was quite a feat trying to balance getting work done, some homework and entertaining a toddler!  As I was composing an email I would have to react to a football being launched at me from across the room.  At least he gives fair warning by yelling "Catch it" or "I throw".  I found it a little funny that when I set my laptop aside and asked him to play catch he lost interest - hmmm.  It was a nice day.  I got in late last night from hanging out in DC, so my sweetie of a husband let me sleep in a bit.  I woke up to Colin flying his rocket on the side of the bed.  I made Colin a big breakfast and then he played while I worked a bit.  Then we went outside to make exquisite art with our sidewalk chalk.  Of course, I took some pictures!  Then Colin took his turn behind the lens! I usually try to buy him a little toy for when they drop me off at the airport for a trip and then another one for Will to give him halfway through the trip.  My last trip I bought him a little Fisher-Price Elmo camera.  He LOVES it!  As you can see from the pictures if it had film he would have a lot of pictures of himself!  At first he was taking it correctly but now he turns it around.  The camera is cute.  Each time he takes a picture, Elmo says something like "Work it, Baby, Work it" or "The Camera loves you baby".  All in all a fun day!  I was even able to get some of my homework done, only two more things to do for the week before I fly out for my next trip.
