I used a six second shudder time with no flash. I stood in the shot for 4 seconds for the more defined one and 3 seconds for the less detailed.

Hell yes.

Here I am playing guitar with a spoon. And Sadie is joining me with an excruciatingly painful drum solo :)

why was it painful? it looks like she is hitting you with sausages...sausages dont hurt..

No, they are actually make of wood.

They look like twinkies.

yeh i think afterthefact is a big girly man and cant handle twinkie sausages being hit on his back by a 2 yr old..i can and i bet danny himself can..

HAHAHA
girly man!

How would you like it if a small child hit you on the head with Twinkies, huh? Mr. I'm-too-cool-for-getting-hurt-by-Twinkies, huh? Yeah, thats right. Bacdafucup.

Danny's got my back.

No, they are in fact wood. But I don't want to stifle her creativity, so I let her do it anyways. If I do this parenting thing right, she might be the next Evelyn Glennie. Now I just have to make her go deaf...

I have got your back, indeed, 'bruv'.

It's cool that you're cultivating a bit of musical creativity in your kid so early on. I had that thankfully from my parents and it always kept me interested in music, real music, all through my childhood and into now.

My cousin's parents are real asses and they just stick her in front of a TV and ignore her all day. She's two. Whenever she stays at our house I let her play on my drums and the piano and such and she really loves it. It's great to see enthusiasm in children.

As long as she does not start sayin' "Where's my fucking money! Gimme my fuckin' money!!!" while beating your head, it's all good.

She loves music. She loves dancing to it, acting to it, playing music to it. And she insists we join her. If she is playing her drums, then I HAVE to play guitar with her. But like I said, I like to encourage that in her, so I always do. The only bad thing is that she stays with her dad all weekend and, like your cousin's parents, he sits her in front of the tv all day, usually watching him play video games. So when she comes home she is begging for TV, but we usually break her of that habit and get her actually usuing her mind again. Not that I am totally against television, but at that age they are really forming the person they will be, and you want to make sure you are guiding them in the right direction. Eventually they will make their own choices, so at least you can say that you did all that you can do.

you must spread some yada yada yada...

speakin' of her drum...


The eggshells were her idea.
And her she is reaping the rewards of a fine musical performance...

AWWWW

I know, ain't she cute? :)

Haha, that's great. I wish I could eat chocolate like that again.

I'm glad I still indulge and eat like that.

i just ate 2 giant burritos like that last night...beans and cheese all over my face...
