The Important Things In Life

A few days ago, Logan discovered Justin's (and subsequently Ethan's) old Fisher-Price digital camera.  After a new set of batteries and 7 minutes of exploration, off he went.  He was thrilled!  Pictures (literally hundreds) were taken, discarded, re-taken and pondered over.  The entire afternoon was spent staging scenes and snapping photos.

When it came time for bed, the meltdown that ensued was epic in proportion.  It would seem that we failed to properly disclose that fact that the camera would not be going to bed with the boy.

"I want all of my pictures in a book that I took with my camera," he explained.

"You do?" I asked, considering what that might look like.

I didn't have to wait long in order to find out.

"Yes.  Ethan's butt...Mommy...the light in the living room.  Oh no!" came his horrified exclamation.  "I forgot to picture the telephone!"

Well, God forbid.
