Ava: Her Perspective

Ava always sees us with a camera (Greg with his fancy DSLR and Diana F+ and me with...well, it's my phone nowadays) and begs to take pictures with our equipment so we got her an unbreakable kiddie digital camera of her own for Christmas. It's really funny because it doesn't come with just one viewfinder, but with two for kids who can't close just one eye. Ava can barely wink so having two viewfinders to peer through is great. The camera is so basic - 2 megapixels - and the indoor pictures are grainy and most of them blurry because Ava doesn't stay still long enough.

Anyway, Greg finally downloaded the pictures she took onto his computer and you can see how the world looks from her height of 40 inches:

Can't tell if that's Ava or Darcy. I think I caught her shoving the camera in Darcy's face
