He’s a problem solver

I dropped my dear camera yesterday and it died … it’s final death. It’s been dropped before, but never this hard, at this angle, and on cement. The lens is completely jammed and crooked. The casing isn’t doing too hot either. It’s been a good little camera for me. The kids always took pictures with it. I was semi-okay with that. It lasted a few years, fit well in my pocket, and was a great color of brown.

Anyhoo… I was bummed about it breaking.

Max came and sat by me while I was trying to fix it.
He said, “It will be okay mom. You can just buy a new one.”
Me: “But that would cost a lot of money.”
Max: “Well, you can just use your phone to take pictures. That’s a good idea.”

How’s that for a problem-solving 4-year-old. He’ll be a great man someday.

As for the camera situation. I’m not forking out the money for a dSLR. But it’d be fun. I’ll probably just get the most recent edition of the Canon. Gotta save up a few pennies though. Sigh…
