My kid can use the camera.

Our boys got their own digi cameras for Christmas, they include the ability to do video clips. THAT has been all the rage here. I was even video'd playing Connect 4 (this is NOT an exciting video).
Check out Toyr R Us, they have some digi cameras for kids that are pretty sturdy and not too expensive. Might be a good choice for your auteur.
Zeb has started building little movie sets and making his own movies, including outtakes and behind the scenes footage. Too funny, and makes me feel great that he has found another way to express his creative side.
Go Simon go!

A- Loved these pictures Simon took. Put a big smile on my face. It is great to know that he is taking up some of his mom's creativeness! Kids take some pretty good pictures. My girlfriend gave her daughter a little disposable camera and all we heard for 32 clicks was "say cheese", "smile"...tee hee.. We then realized how we sound to them when trying to get them to sit still for just a sec....for that all needed picture :) LOVE the John Deere hat...it is the only kind to have.. Good job Simon... Keep it up little buddy.

great pics Ali!!! hope you are feeling better real soon! hugs,

Simon, those are awesome shots!!!! My favorite is the nose blowing of your mama!!!

Just so sweet Ali, hope you feel better soon
love and kisses to you and Simon

Great pictures Simon! Keep up the good work.

Those pictures are just wonderful... made my day. Kids are so precious. Thanks for the cute story Ali!

you look so good in that shirt, Ali!

What great shots!! And being from the "country" and married to a farmer of sorts, I LOVE the hat!!!

Cool pics, I put some pics on my blog yesterday that the kids in my special school class took for a competition. They took some awesome photographs, amazing when you think they are all 6/7 and have severe learning difficulties. I'm pretty impressed anyway! Keep up the inspiration by the way, I've just done my first 'life' LO as a 'life artist'

It's funny...I was working on a layout last night..and it was about my daughter Jillian and her laughter. How it comes from her soul..from her heart and she laughs because she *gets it*...and when they get it...it's a remarkable feeling. It's freeing. It really is.
