He’s Got My Eyes

July 23, 2008

in Me to You

Since the day he was born, people have been telling me that my son looks like his Daddy.  He’s been referred to as Scott 2.0 and Mini-Me.   I don’t argue that there is no debating who his Daddy is, but I will say that he’s got my eyes.

Make that eye.

For photography.

Check out these pictures I took of my parents when I was in elementary school.  

Mom Christmas picDad Birthday

 

First we have my mom showing off her Christmas ear rings… at least I THINK that is my mom… it looks like her hands but I managed to cut off the top of her head.   Then we have my Dad showing us what I assume is his birthday gift, can’t see it though.  I did get a great shot of our wall though with my smiling Dad off to the side.  Apparently when gifts were given, I got the privilege of holding the camera.  Big Mistake.  Clearly I struggled with framing the subject.

 

Now here is a photo my son took of his Mommy and Daddy at Christmas when he was 2 1/2.  See the resemblance?

Yep, clearly he has his mothers eye.

Daddy takes way better pictures.  Like the ones he took here at the zoo, framed beautifully, heads all in tack.

I think my son might be a protegy though… at 2 and 1/2 he was taking pictures on par with my photography at age 9 or 10…wait, maybe that means he is like his father!!

Hide and Seek

in Circus Shots

We have a tradition at our house that we do every day when Daddy comes home.  I don’t know exactly when or how it started, but as soon as Maggie (our dog) barks to let us know he’s home, my older two children dash and hide.  Daddy then has to find them.  I’m sure the words, "Daddy’s home…HIDE!"  were just the words he longed to hear after a hard day of work, but he always plays along and looks "high and low" till he finds them and is greeting with smiles and giggles.  My son has actually gotten quite good at hiding, but my daughter still has a lot to learn.
