My daughter, Coral, and I made her birthday card today. She remembered doing one last year, so she instructed me to get out the green cloth, her mom to buy balloons, and she dressed herself. Last year she was a mermaid with an ocean themed party. This year she’s having a pajama party at the city rec center, so we did a series of photos to show her being carried by balloons to the party. She inquired about each of the shots I was taking, sat on my lap watching the entire time as I assembled the image, asking questions about each of the tools I was using. She’s been requesting her own laptop lately, and now I suspect she’ll beg for a copy of Photoshop as well. (Sorry, not this birthday, Coral.)
