Day 87 - Natasha King Photography - Project 365

I admit it. It's my fault. I'm a photographer, I'm a student. I spend the majority of my time working on the computer. Add to that checking a few message boards and writing some emails--and the message being sent to my two year old is very clear. The computer is amazing! You must spend at least part of your day banging a keyboard and clicking a mouse. And so he does. So much so that I revamped my original clam shell iBook for him to use. Well, that worked out great until he discovered Photo Booth on my 27" iMac, who I lovingly call "Big Daddy" and who he calls "Baby."

This image is another from my Mom-me series. It is visual representation of an internal conversation. When you are at home with a toddler you often find yourself talking aloud. Sometimes it is to them to engage in the conversation, and sometimes it's to yourself--just to have another adult to talk with.

So this is about how you do something and somewhere inside there is a "you" when you were younger that would have never been caught dead doing that particular thing. It is the latest in the Mom-me series. My instructor wanted me to try out having both me's in the same outfit and interacting with each other. I don't think I like it as much as the different outfits but I had to at least give it a try.

Happy Easter! Welcome to the celebration of the 1st Annual Empty Easter Egg Hunt. Monkey Man & Wildman had a blast finding the eggs in the backyard. Wildman ended up with this super cool airplane basket that didn't belong to him because M was only interested in finding the eggs that were made to look like sports balls. Fun was had by all and Wildman got to work on his all-terrain walking. Look at him, he's a trooper!

BFFs in the making, whether they like it or not. So Bex & Monkey Man came to visit us over the Easter Holiday. Monkey Man & Wildman took awhile to warm up to each other but other than a few fall outs (and a in tandem tantrum) they did really well together. On this day we went to the what we are titling "THE WORLD'S TINIEST ZOO". If you have never been to the Brandywine Zoo in Delaware, don't worry, you aren't missing much. If you try hard enough you can stand at the front gate and throw a rock and hit the back of the zoo. But the boys didn't seem to care as long as there was candy involved.

When the weather permits my husband takes Wildman out for a walk before dinner. He loves going on the adventures with Daddy and Mommy loves having the house to herself for the 10-15 minutes that they are gone. I took this picture because I want him to remember how much he was loved by his father. In today's black family the father figure is disappearing. I am so happy that my child is able to grow up with a positive role model right in our home.

Introducing... Dr. Evil, our cat. After a looonnnng stay at my sister's house and a brief stay at Shari's house. Dr. Evil is finally settling into our new home. Having a pet is like having a second child. I forgot how I did NOT miss changing a litter box, keeping up with pet food, and replenishing the water dish with bottled water (which is a taste he developed at my sister's house).
