Newborns are not particularly into dolls. They don’t talk to you, they can’t warm you up. All they give you are empty stares. I guess I would be creeped out if I was new to a world and was surrounded by strange looking dolls.
I know a lot of you grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes like I did. Although, this was not the inspiration for his name, I am glad that it is associated with him. The day after I named him, I have been looking feverishly for a Hobbes doll and guess what?! They don’t exist. I am so bummed by this. Apparently, the creator, Bill Watterson felt like it would take away from his cartoons. I beg to differ but what do I know? There are some people who have patterns of Hobbes that they have created and are willing to share. So it looks like Methuse will have to make a one of a kind doll just for Calvin. Until then, he will have these dolls to look at him and a Tigger outfit that is too big for him.
Since I photograph for a living, it only makes sense that Calvin will grow up around the camera and lights. Today was the first day that I busted out the lights and he wasn’t liking it very much. Granted, it was 2am but he wakes up at that time, so I figured why not right now? I made sure to power the lights down to their lowest settings to keep his anger down. lol
Since he is a ninja in training, he was able to block out the lights with his hands. I can’t be more proud of him, he is showing excellent technique and it won’t be long before he has the light under control.
