The project my daughters did with me!

Image
Here's something I'm rather proud of. . . I have raised two successful babysitters. When they were starting out babysitting, I was as nervous as they were! What if something happens? Will they have to cook? What if the kids are hard to handle? I went over instructions with them right until they walked out the door. I canceled my plans and stayed home in case they called for help. When they got home, I'd want all the details and then go over what to do for next time. They got better and better with each job and my nerves calmed down when I realized they were great babysitters who knew how to keep kids safe AND have fun with them at the same time. Hearing from friends and neighbors what awesome babysitters my daughters are made me so proud!   But now they are getting older and getting different jobs, and spending more weekend nights with friends rather than babysitting, they're ready to pass the torch on to younger babysitters. We had the idea to put together a guide/kit ...

if you give a 3 year old a camera

Lucy likes to do things together. Whatever she's doing, she wants me to be right there doing it with her. And whatever I'm doing, she has to be doing. Lately, if I have the camera out and want to take some pictures, she wants a turn too. So I put the strap around her neck and let her shoot whatever she wants.
So you end up with unusual camera angles and unique perspectives and, even more rare, pictures of me!
I took this one of Emmie, but its too cute not to post.

So funny! We've downloaded many pictures onto our computer, come to find many surprise ones as well. One time there were a bunch of pics Tanner took of Max trying to reach the cookies in the closet. I really like the one Lucy took of Emmie in the green chair. Emmie looks like a little doll in the corner of the picture. Love it.

I think you need to let Lucy play photographer more often! It's nice seeing you on your blog, although I'm certainly not one to talk... I rarely show up on my own blog, either. Maybe I'll give my kids the camera.

She is beautiful. Usually all you see is the hair. Put a hat on her and you see those big eyes. I keep coming back to look at this picture.

hospital buddies

Remember Lucy's hospital doll she named Birdie ? Well, we had a service project with the children's group at church a couple weeks ago and made a bunch of dolls just like Birdie to donate to Primary Children's Medical Center. They will go to future patients there and hopefully bring the same amount of love and comfort Birdie brought to Lucy. At our activity, we had 12 kids who stuffed, stitched, hemmed and dressed a total of 34 dolls! Patterns for dolls and robes can be found here: Doll A , Doll B , Robe A , Robe B . Download all four.
