What messy worktops can do to kids...
I like to think that it is my messy worktop covered with sketches and storyboards that inspires Luca and Anton to draw stories themselves...or it is their never ending competitive drive, knowing they can do it better....or... maybe it's just boredom....
Here is a X-mas story Anton did during one of his early Sunday mornings, while patiently waiting for Mum and Dad to get up and start the day.
We recorded his voice a bit later...he does not like listening to it, so please don't mention the blog entry to him ;)

Merry Christmas to all of you and a happy new year.

'You know, mummy, the thing you hold in your hands, like this...' Anton kept saying when he so wished for the Nintendo DS. And that gave me an idea which still works today (2 years later)!!!
Instead of giving into his craving for a handheld console, Anton got his very own camera (from the parents) and a mini printer (from the grand parents). He also got a metal board to hang up all his photos. Anton loves taking pictures and filming.
Unfortunately, I could not find the clip he did, walking from room to room while talking over the footage - like a mini documentary. So sweet!! But this clip should do as well.

We bought a Casio because it had a big display. Meanwhile there is quite a choice out there. Printer , Flip Camera
