The lemon shot is a very cool perspective.
I really like ‘drawn to the light’ too, Braden has such a sweet face.

The Drawn to the Light one made me click on it in my e-mail (Flickr “tracking” FTW). What a gorgeous shot!!

Drawn to the light is so precious. Looks like a little angel!
THX — too cute. He’s already ready for net-speak. LOL!

Ah, how funny! I didn’t even think of that.
He was spelling it b/c of THX Surround Sound!

I have vid of him imitating the THX bit from the beginning of the Cars movie DVD. I’ll share later in the week, probably.

#12 by Lotus, aka Sarcastic Mom on February 21, 2010 - 10:53 AM
Just a bunch of chairs and tables in storage at the community center. But interesting to him, nonetheless.

Hey! I have foam letters in my photos this week too!!
Those string beans look yummy!! I have such problems getting my children to eat them.

Braden has loved those foam letters for so long. Definitely in the Top 10 kid things.
I’m lucky (don’t mean to brag!) Braden actually loves green beans. Weird, right? This recipe was listed as a “Kid Approved One” though – it has honey.

#23 by Amy @ The Bitchin' Wives Club on February 21, 2010 - 9:02 AM
Those green beans looked awesome! Was that country dijon or just mustard seeds that you cooked them with?
Again, Braden…. loved the black and white one of him. Does his hair do that naturally or did you help sweep it a bit?
Mommy’s and photographer’s prerogative, of course!

Totally impressed with your ability to spot mustard seeds! Rock on wit’ yo bad self.
They’re toasted, too, so they had this wonderfully nutty flavor, really good. I linked the recipe just above in reply to Karen.
B’s hair will fall that way at night when I blow dry it after his bath (with this particular haircut). I think it looks so cute that way… by morning, it’s full of sleep swirls. That’s cute, too, though.
#25 by Sarah on February 21, 2010 - 9:07 AM
I lurve that Drawn to the Light shot. I love the way you photograph B.

It’s not so much the “light” he’s drawn to but the “shiny” like his mama.

#38 by Bejewell on February 22, 2010 - 9:44 PM
You should be making millions of dollars with photos like these. Or at the very least, your kid should.
