Conversations with Mildred Elise

Since my camera's injury, it's been throwing all sorts of sulky fits. Thankfully, the only permanent problem is the frozen zoom switch, so I can still take lots of pictures. (Whew!)


This causes a problem, though, when I try to take pictures of Millie. In the past, I would zoom in from far off, which allowed me to take pictures without her knowledge. No longer. Now that I have to be physically close in order to get close pictures, I hesitate to take many in consideration of my girl who doesn't much care for cameras.

I discovered something a few days ago, though, when I found the girls playing with paper dolls in the bathroom. If I talk to her about something she finds interesting, she barely notices the camera! We lucked out.


In the order in which she appeared, here she talks about the different fruit trees and berry bushes we can plant when we settle in the country.








Here she scowls while trying to remember the name of "the red berry she wants to plant."



And more furrowed attempts to remember...



I'll have to brainstorm bathroom conversation topics anytime her shotsnaps presence is too sparse.
