First of all, I have been trying to do this project for a while, but Rufus was just not interested. He politely and repeatedly (and quite patronizingly) told me, "Mama, you can take the photo yourself," and then zipped off on his scooter. A little blur who will not be winning participation awards any time soon.
To begin with, here is how I have been handling photo projects and all art/crafts that Rufus snubs:
Keep offering. Kids are so fickle. You just never know.
Model it. I have been making rainbows, coloring, painting and taking photos alone or with David for a month and a half. Sometimes Rufus steps up and joins in, sometimes he stands there and sets a timer and critiques my art while I make it... Today he wanted to take photos. WIN!
