Click...click!

Time to pick up those cameras. With graduation around the corner we all want to capture the step from kindergarten to 1st grade...or even high school to college...no matter what it is there is a special moment that is going to happen and so here we are. Polished cameras, dusted off lenses and fully charged batteries. But wait a minute who's saying these are the only days you should be dusting off those lenses and charging those batteries. Every moment is precious: lost teeth, first vegetable, and even just those days filled with laughter. There shouldn't be a super special moment that is dictated by commercialism. We should want to see the steps and the trips that show the growth of the child or children in your life.
Taking the time to every month take a picture with a favorite outfit, toy, food, or something else they really love. Then put it together in a collage for the year an frame it. It shows the growth and the changes they've made. My nephew answered his mom's phone yesterday. He was so clear an you actually got full sentences out of him. He's graduating from kindergarten in a week. The thing is that he use to hate the phone and all you'd get out of him was little bits...no conversation. But in just a couple of weeks of not seeing him he was excited to hear my voice and was....just growing up. Some take longer and then something clicks. The little boy or girl who didn't want to talk and communicate very well...they just do one day. Kids are a wonder and we should want to show their growth. So pic up your camera on a Monday or a Thursday...it doesn't have to be for anything other then you want to share the beautiful child you have and their little grin. So capture this moment....click...click! ;)
