"Take a picture of..."

One day this week Timo has just woken up from his nap and I was taking photos of some things (in the basement, where he has his bedroom) to post on Craigslist. He asked me to take his picture and tell him when to smile! Yes, at 2 1/2 years old, he has figured out how this whole photo thing works.

"Take a picture of Timo smile", he instructed.

"Take a picture of Timo crib," he said next.

And finally, "Take a picture of Timo pink chair and George cousin," he said. (The wool sock monkey he is holding was MY monkey as a kid, made by my Great-Aunt Mamie. I named it "George's cousin" and it was much loved in my childhood!)
