These are for Photo Friday with the theme "childhood". I've been wanting to do Photo Friday ever since I first heard about it - right after my digital camera broke! When I got the e-mail that this week's theme was childhood I figured it was time to jump in. It's a funny challenge - I guess my entries could also be "play" - because that's where Aidan is at right now, but trying to capture perpetual motion and intensely imaginative dramatic play in a still picture is hard. I'm also getting used to shooting indoor pictures with a flash - I've never been able to do it before with my other cameras and now that I can I'm struggling with the inherent limitations of it.

Aidan got that Woody doll from my brother for his birthday - it came early and in the spirit of my brother, I let Aidan open it right away. He played with it like it was his very best friend until his actual birthday when he got a big Buzz Lightyear. It was just like the movie - Woody got completely abandoned for a few weeks. Now he plays with them both.
