Last May, when we were visiting the grandkids in Northern California, I let little Alex \u201cborrow\u201d my little pocket sized Canon A710IS. At 2\u00bd years old, he managed to take a few good photos among the messed-up ones you might expect from a kid that age.<\/p>\n<p>So, for his birthday today, we sent him a <a href=\"https:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01D11ZOAK\/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1\">Kid Zoom Camera<\/a> designed for kids 3 to 8 years old. The photo above shows him with his new camera just after opening it.<\/p>\n<p>We will likely return to Northern California later this year to celebrate the arrival of Alex&#8217;s little brother. We shall see what progress Alex has made with being an expert photobug at that time. <\/p>\n<p>Photo via FecesBook\u2122 posted by my eldest granddaughter.
