The Day the Camera Died

Yesterday afternoon, I turned around to see that Caitlin had not only climbed up on the changing table, but she had starting smearing triple paste diaper cream all over her face. I calmly asked Joe to go grab the camera so I could take a picture before I took her off.  I then set the camera down.....

A little while later, Ryan was sitting in a booster seat eating a snack.  I was out of the room for a minute when a heard a crash.  He had evidentally crawled up on the kitchen table where I had set the camera and grabbed it.  He was able to take 2 pictures and make 4 videos before it crashed to the ground.  I can tell he broke my lens mechanism and who knows what else.  Today, I took it to the camera store to see if they can repair it.  They think it will be about $150-$200.  I am so sad.  The camera itself is about $400 new, so it may still be worth is to have it fixed, we'll see when the estimate comes in this week.  Luckily, I still have my old camera, but I feel like I have lost a good friend.

The culprit:


The last video Ryan made:
And here's *sigh* one of the last videos I made:
**those would be chocolate Cheerios on Caitlin's face :)
