I should add she has a knack for dismantling them...... So we have since made them out of Legos or Duplos.. Yesterday she made a camera out of two empty toilet-paper rolls..... and then she asked me to put film in the camera....... when I pretended to load it with film she said "no daddy... not pretend film.... real film". So... she's probably ready...... But I'm afraid that she will take the whole roll in a few minutes like she sees daddy do when he's working... And since she doesn't have an allowance to spend on film yet.... we'll probably let her wait a little longer... I remember once reading an interview with Pete Turner..... the interviewer asked him a couple of times about his son and what he thought of his son wanting to become a photographer...... Pete didn't say anything and more or less growled at the interviewer until he moved on to another subject... I'm wondering what I'll do if she decides to follow my footsteps...
