Storytelling Sunday: "It's easy, mom!"

Clara: "Can I have your old camera mom?"
Me: "Yes you can, once you learn how to use it."
Clara: "I know how to use it mom.  It's easy. See?"
Yes, my love, I do.

  3. She's right, she just hasn't learnt all the tricks to taking excellent pictures yet. That'll be next week

  4. The thing with kids is that they aren't afraid to experiment and we all learn best by actually 'doing' rather than just reading about things. So 'bravo!' Clara, and let's see some of her photos here very soon!

  10. This is in the same vein as my post today. My kids can pick up any piece of technology and immediately start using it. They seem to intuitively know what each button is for and they aren't afraid to experiment. Me, I want a manual with pictures!

  13. unfortunately when my daughter got hold of my camera saying she knew how to use it, she wiped the memory card and lost the photos from her hallowe'en party and a family trip to the zoo.

  23. So, will she let you teach her anything about that camera? I guess she'll figure it out okay.
    Love her smile in that photo, even with the big "flash" reflection. She's gorgeous, Rinda!
