My son is fortunate to have some very good friend’s at such a young age. Looking back, I didn’t really have any special friends at his age. We played with the kid’s that lived in our appartment building in Bombay. There were no planned play dates by my parent’s and most of the kid’s we knew were the ones we had easy access to. On the other hand, my son has been in play groups from a very young age. We started with one when he was four months old and he has become friends with those kids over the years.

One of his best buddies is E. Whenever, I say R you are soooo handsome he gets mad at me and says, “Mommy, I am not. I am funny. E is handsome.” Yes, he is a handsome little man and I got a few pictures of him at their soccer class this week. We got to the class pretty early but I had a special treat to R…chocolate milk which we waited to drink at the opposite end of the soccer area so we wouldn’t have to walk back to throw away the garbage. Turned out that little E was patiently waiting for R and refusing to go play until his friend got there. What a sweet little guy.

I haven’t had a chance to update the blog for a while. Much has been going on…I have been a bit unwell, catching up with print orders and also trying to work on marketing material for my business. Most of all, I don’t get to spend the time I used to taking pictures of my little man. He turned four in June and is so much into being a big boy! He goes to preschool two days a week and wants to for four days. Can you guess why? Because he is four. It’s all about the number four. Four cookies, four bites to eat, four toys, lol.

But tonight my cute, available model consented to let his mama take some pictures of him for a photo contest. Since time was of essence, I had to find something quick and close by. Inspiration comes in many ways and I found it in my own backyard. Or side-yard. Well…really, my neighbor’s, lol. They have this bright green trailer that has been screaming photo opp for the longest time. I have thought about it forever and finally got to take some fun pictures using it as a backdrop. Be sure to look around you. Your next best photo may be right around the corner.
