Two and half hours a day. That's how long our pre-school lasts. When I came back home after dropping my daughter off at school, I had every intention of tidying up her room. Now, I can not completely blame her for what I saw when I opened the door- I did happen to catch our beloved Tina "red-pawed" & dragging around a pair of toys from her playmate's room. And I'm fairly certain that someone must have snuck in and destroyed her room. There really is no other explanation- my angel could not have done such damage!
BUT...when I stepped into the middle of her polka-dotted rug, my focus shifted from "mess" to "creative imaginary world of a four and a half year old." So, instead of coming home to clean up her room, I decided to photograph it. (Yes- I fully admit that this was an attempt to put off the task for as long as possible.) Her little world slowly came to life so much that I could practically smell the marvelous meal that she had prepared so carefully.
The adorable Astronaut, ours personalized with a photo of Daddy, is available for purchase on Etsy, at the fabulous shop of TsuraLi
...in some ways, I felt like I was photographing a crime scene.
I'm happy to report that after school, and after ballet, last night my daughter & I, together, tackled the mess. For the moment, everything is in it's place, resting until they are called back into the imaginary world of my little girl. In fact... I think I just heard the roar of Velociraptor now. Oh well, at least she waited until 8:00am.
