The other day my son was so tired from being out and walking all day. We were walking to get my daughter from school. It is about 2 miles...he said he couldn't do it, and baby girl was sleep in the stroller so I really needed him to make it. I let him have my phone to take pictures along the way. This worked, not only did he make it to the school but also home again. I really enjoyed looking at our daily walk from his point of view.
As we were walking he kept saying WOW! Look at this I need to take a picture. He would pose and set up the shot and then proclaim Yes that was a good one!
What a great way to change his attention from tiredness to wonder! And, yes, photos taken by little one have an extra sweetness to them...
