Kaitlyn’s Vantage

The world looks different to someone Kaitlyn’s age and height.  The other day she got a hold of my camera and asked if she could take a few pictures.  Sure!  Why not?  It’s simple, point & click and I’ve helped her to take pictures before so she knows what to do.  She apparently had the camera a little longer than I thought she did and ended up taking more than a couple of pictures.

No!  Not a litter pan.  Our cats frequently climb into the toy bins when they’re down off the shelf.  Scruffles used to climb into them on the shelf and curl up in soft toys when she was a kitten.  On the right is Sandy next to some window or door frame that needs a paint job.  Most of my house is in need of a coat of paint again right now.

Cats eating their afternoon meal after scattering some of it on the floor.  And Nathan in the Living Room with Sandy watching over him… probably interested in the favorite green string he’s got.

Say cheese, Mom!  Followed by a rather serious point and click of self.  Yeah, she was tired on this day with such weird week we had.

Smile Nathan and say “cheeeeese” and then Nathan gets his favorite pizza magnet.  Can we have pizza for dinner?  No, it’s not Friday.

Queen Sandy looking regal next to the fridge and a look UP at birthday cards which probably ought to come down and go into memory boxes.  There is so much to get to!

Sandy turns her back on the photographer and Spooky looks downright irritated when he should really be napping peacefully in that afternoon sun.

Nap!  No Nap for Nathan!  He doesn’t believe in them anymore, except maybe in the car.  And that’s a look at the world from Kaitlyn’s point of view.

  1. Those pictures are really pretty good, nice job Kaitlyn! I enjoyed seeing things from her perspective.

    I have been meaning to tell you. There is a little boy named Nathan in Porter's music class that he took at a local Parks and Rec department. The little boy is about exactly the same age as your Nathan. And EVERY single time we sing "Say goodbye to Nathan", Porter gets super excited and points at him with wide eyes. He knows that name because we talk about cousin Nathan almost every day. And I'm wondering if he is curious if that boy is his cousin Nathan. I tell him that he is 'friend Nathan', but it's just like 'cousin Nathan'. It's just really cute to see him get so excited about "Nathan"! He knows cousin Nathan in pictures, but I realize it's been quite a long time in his little life since he has seen his cousins.
