Camera Tragedy

Our blog is going to be picture less for awhile since our lovely daughter threw our camera in the bath tub yesterday!

Punishment for child: Mom letting out a shriek, then calmly trying to explain that we don’t put things in the water.
Punishment for parents: buying a new camera

I am just sick about it. Paul is always telling me that I shouldn't let the kids touch or play with things that are not toys. For example, the phone, remote, computer mouse, keys and of course the CAMERA. He is right, I have been to relaxed with letting the kids touch things. How, when & where did she manage to get the camera in a matter of seconds and dropp it in the tub? All very good questions. Where was I? Right there! These little children are like magicans, if I am not watching them every second I am bound to miss something. I wish we had tall shelves all over the house that we could put everything on…but then they would just find a chair and climb up and probably knock down the whole shelf! Got to love kids.

I'm soooo sorry!! You're right about these kids being magicians. They are so quick!! Don't feel bad...these things happen ALOT!! You're an amazing mom. I think you would have heard a few more shrieks before I could calmly talk to my beautiful and adorable child :) Hee-hee.

Be proud of yourself that you kept calm. I'm not sure I could have.. Those camera's cost a lot! Just think of it as one of life's little lesson's we all run into. Love ya!

Oh no--that is horrible! I am just like you though. The kids always want to play with the things they shouldn't have. So, I too occasionally give in! Three years ago our kids destroyed our camcorder and we still haven't replaced it! I feel your pain!

2 cell phones, 1 pair of glasses, a remote, a set of keys, countless sunglasses, a few watches...all non-toy things that have been ruined by my children. I am so sad for you, but I also have to laugh! HAHA!
