Through Hailey’s Eyes

One day while I was doing laundry, Hailey got ahold of my point and shoot camera and snapped a few pictures.

I was ok with it, and entertained her a little bit and smiled for the camera. We took a picture together and had a few fun minutes.

I put the camera away in my purse. Later that day she grabbed the camera, without me knowing, and took some more pictures. I honestly don’t remember if she was supposed to be doing quiet time, or if this was after. I was in the bedroom folding laundry, with the door closed, so I could indulge myself in a Dr. Quinn episode without Hailey wanting to watch. Folding laundry is always so much more tolerable when I have something to watch. Anyway, I really had no idea what she was up to. She later shared with me that she took pictures of everything. Looking through the camera, I’d agree- she did take pictures of everything.

Normally I edit my pictures in Photoshop before adding them to the blog. I just left them alone this time. They’re Hailey’s pictures, and there really are too many of them. I did filter through them and pick out the better of the bunch. Enjoy the camera through Hailey’s eyes- and a small tour through our home.

In the fridge. This one really cracked me up, for some reason.

On another day, Hailey, Keira, and I were playing in the playroom. Keira started laughing. I had the camera right by me, so I asked Hailey to take some video of Keira laughing for me. She took her own video of what was important to her instead.
