As I mentioned\nyesterday<\/a>, five-year-old Anthony's first present unwrapping set a\npattern<\/span> that we saw a number<\/span> of times throughout the morning....<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>\nNikon D200 + Nikkor 17-55 f\/2.8 @ 17mm — 1<\/sup>\/<\/big>80 sec, f\/2.8, ISO 640 —\nfull exif<\/a><\/span>\nOpening the Present from Mommy and Daddy<\/span>\nSome accessories for the train set he got on his last birthday<\/a>.\n<\/div>\n\n
<\/a>\nNikon D200 + Nikkor 17-55 f\/2.8 @ 20mm — 1<\/sup>\/<\/big>80 sec, f\/2.8, ISO 640 —\nfull exif<\/a><\/span>\nOpening the Present from Grandma and Grandpa<\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n

For whatever reason, the present from Grandma and Grandpa generated a\npowerful<\/span> pose instead. I don't<\/span> think he really knew what it was, but the\npicture of a helicopter<\/span> was likely sufficient to trigger the\ncelebration.<\/p>\n\n

The helicopter thing has a central hub with the helicopter connected by\na rod,<\/span> so that the helicopter can go around and around, and up and down in\nconjunction with how much power is applied. It actually<\/span> takes a fair<\/span> amount\nof skill to control the thing, but it was perfect for him....<\/p>\n\n
