A few months ago M got LP a camera, one that's especially for kids, basically made of rubber, unbreakable, waterproof, really easy to work with. I still thought that he was a little young for it, but maybe I was mistaken after all.
Here is what I found when I pored through hundreds and hundreds of worthless pictures... In terms of quality, the camera is bad, so there's no way around that. But even if we couldn't possibly deem any of those good, some are certainly interesting -remember this is the world as seen by a two year-old...
[This is actually one of my skirts... I'm surprised at how by complete chance he got the pattern just right, almost making it like an abstract expressionist painting...]
[Two of his favorite people in the same shot!]
[So this is what the backyard looks to him... A prison.]
[I call this one "Self-Portrait"]
[This revealed to us what his perspective was while he was getting his diaper changed... That little corner of his room was probably the thing he's seen the most for over two years. Only a few months ago, but already a different era]
[Love this one]

That is most enlightening. Such an interesting look through your son's eyes. I guess with a pool, there's not much you can do about that fence.
Please make this a regular post, it's fascinating!
Wow, those are really great. They really are like snapshots from his point of view. I think the blurry-ness is appropriate...one day most of this part of his life will be indistinct memories anyway. It's like the first pictures I took of Michael with my cell phone. They are grainy, but somehow you feel them more that way.
Wow, this IS fascinating! You give us a glimpse of life through his eyes with the snippets of language, it's great to see it more literally.
