A Three Year Old and A Camera

Often, I find myself sitting on the sidelines waiting for the next great Gianni move. I am a patient observer...but VERY fearful...

Then there comes the time, when there is such a hilarity to these "moves" that they MUST be shared, quickly, so as to entertain those in most need of a good laugh or smile in their day...

So, here is a most current delight.

Gianni and I spend Monday, Wednesday and Friday together, just us two. Some of these days we spend the mornings in our jammies after we have seen brother off on the bus and other days, Mommy actually has to "get stuff done".

So, not long ago, I was sitting at the computer, sifting through the emails in my Inbox and Gianni came over to check out what I was doing and looked over on my desk and noticed our camera sitting there. Well, that can't be...we must take pictures...of the dogs (mostly their butts because they are running in fear), the fireplace (see below), the coffee tables, the plants....you get the picture (haha). THEN, something amazing calls! A brilliant idea (as I can only imagine) of a three year old, but quick it has got to happen NOW!

So, I sit, at my computer and after what I realize seems like an eternity of blessed quiet...I notice that he isn't in my line of sight anymore and he has my GOOD camera.

"Gianni...Gianni...where are you?" Followed by more quiet....I must admit, that is when the fear kicks in...I walk down the hall...the bathroom door is shut...I try the knob...it's locked (a BIG No, No in our house). "Gianni...Gianni...open this door RIGHT NOW!"

"Hold on Mom.."

It is at this moment that I imagine my camera going for a swim in the toilet...in my mind it looked something like the camera going up, down, up, down, into the toilet held by the neck lanyard.

CLICK, the door is unlocked....I slowly open the door..Hmm... the camera is sitting on the counter, facing my little guy who is sitting on the toilet with a big smile.

"Momma, I was taking a picture of me peeing and pooping!"

"Oh!...Well..." I say as I lift the camera from it's place and prepare myself for what the camera has captured.

See below....

(looks good, camera all lined up...)

(we call this a Thelma & Louise...holding the camera out and pushing the button to capture the moment...)

Not quite what you were expecting?? ME EITHER!

I was more then happy to find that he was more of an artist and used the counter for a tri-pod rather then the straight down view I had anticipated!

Hope this made you smile, but I am hoping for more of a giggle!!
