Lucy is out for Spring Break this week and since we didn’t go anywhere, we are getting creative with our afternoons together. Today, she actually asked if I would take her picture. This kiddo never likes me to take her picture lately. Maybe she’s got a case of Photographer’s Child Syndrome. I didn’t want to make a big deal about it, so you know, I played it cool. “OK, sure,” I said, but inside I was all like “OMG YESSSSS! LET ME DROP ALL OF THIS LAUNDRY OUT OF MY ARMS AND GET MY CAMERA!” And the very best part? She wanted me to let her take my picture. She actually listened to me when I showed her how. Before, when I’ve let her try she just blindly clicked the button, holding it down while it machine gun fired at me a dozen times. Today, she looked through the viewfinder, aimed, and fired. She carefully took one shot at a time. She even got me in focus at f/2.8! Two words: child prodigy. That’s all I’m sayin’.
