Just to prove what I said about clothing, here's a photo of me in my dressing gown...


Amelie took that yesterday morning. Toby was slapping the table in the hope of summoning a waitress, and I was posing next to the new highchair I'd just spent twenty minutes trying to assemble. I think her composition was an attempt to avoid the issue of red-eye.

The chair itself is actually very low, but it attaches to any standard seat, stool or misericord via the use of some supposedly adjustable straps which take about ten minutes to tighten. We did have a dedicated highchair when Amelie was little...


... but they don't make plastic like they used to, and it was already secondhand when we got it, so by the time Amelie had eaten her way through toddlerhood, it was only good for the bin.

So we've invested in the new piece of kit above, which arrived in the post on Tuesday. I've been teaching Amelie to use my old camera recently, and aside from lowering it too quickly after pressing the button and cutting off people's foreheads, she's doing remarkably well. Here she is capturing the momentous occasion of Toby's first breakfast in his highchair...


And here's the resulting photo...


With multiple cameras going off at once, the next stage is to turn these shots into bullet time. We should have The Matrix 4 completed by the end of the week.
