Sibling Non-rivalry

My lazy Saturday was pleasantly interrupted by a visit from my brother, his wife and their son. I love my nephew. He's darling. At 18 months he has already developed a charming and disarming personality. I love children. I worked at the Children's Center at my college part time. I was a teacher for a couple of years. I'm looking foward to having one or two of my own in the near future. While every child is unique they share common behaviors. For example, toddlers can not have their picture taken on their level without coming up to the camera and touching the lens. My nephew is no exception. Here are my attempts at photographing him at his level.
