Lost Opportunity
I just missed out on what would have been a most precious, surely a must blog picture. And now the moment is gone.
I heard an ominous clanking noise in the family room where I thought the boys were playing and listening to music. What I found was Philip and Jonathan, my dear 2 and 1 year olds having a tea party. The fireplace had a lovely play tablecloth spread out with cups, saucers, and plates ready to go. It was so cute.
Why did I not get the picture you might ask? Because they happened to be using my good china! I so panicked that I immediately moved the cups, plates, and saucers out of reach before that veteran mom inside me said "Take a picture!". That's what I get for being so concerned with the things!
I would say maybe next time, but I really don't know if I want to risk the china for a picture. At least not until they are older, and then what are the chances of that happening?
I know, I know. I really messed up, huh!

I feel quite certain I would have had the same reaction! There is no way I would have thought to take a picture; just like you, pure shock and a strong urge to save the china would have pushed any thoughts of a photo opportunity right out of my head!
Oh, how cute! (minus the good china part). Yeah, it's hard to know when to grab the camera or not. For example, when a child scribbles all over your floor with crayons and you grab the camera is that sending the wrong message? ;) I think we should just have our houses equipped with video cameras in every room so we never miss a thing!
