When Keira turned six last month, her aunty and uncle gave her a small disposable camera and a blank album, with a card suggesting she could document her life at six. It turned out to be such a great gift- the actual taking of the photos over a week, (great fun in itself) then waiting for me to remember to get them developed (perhaps not so much fun) then collecting them and looking through for the first time. Next it was time to stick them in the album, and she's half-way through labelling each one.
I plan on copying this idea and giving disposable cameras as future kid's birthday gifts.
It's going to be such a fun thing to look at later on, this week that she turned six. She went to the beach, the supermarket, to visit her grandparents, and had a tea party with her friends. Looking through the photos gave me insight into what it's like to be her, too: the photos of people seem to be taken from so far below them. I'd forgotten what it was like to be so small.
