Little E quite likes helping herself to the camera. She knows she's not supposed to without an adult around, but occasionally I find the signs on the memory card. That self portrait is one of my favourite photos of Little E so I can't get too angry.

I am beginning to come around to the idea of digital cameras for children. I thought it a bit over the top when I saw some small children walking around the museum pointing their own cameras in front of glass cabinets. It gives you an idea of what held their interest for long enough to point and click, as well as something to talk about together when recalling an event. Sometimes their point of view can be quite unexpected. On our trip to the zoo, I rushed to see the bears being fed as Little E was very much into bears at the time. She really wasn't interested. When we asked her about her day and the animals she saw, it turned out her favourite was the giraffe and it's very, very, long tongue. She even illustrated with a lovely imitation of said giraffe trying to pick its nose with its tongue. Now that, I need a photo of.
