Lights, camera, Li'l D!

New blog entry:
Li'l D's first day on set

Excerpt:

I was somewhat apprehensive about Li’l D’s first time on set. Sure, he’s visited Ba.D. at the studio during the TV season, but he’s never actually been on set. He’s definitely never been in front of The Camera.

My main fears about his set time were that:

(1) My little camera hog would stare directly into the camera and flash his showiest love-me-camera! grin. Then do it again. And again. And again

Even when he doesn't go full-ham, tantrums cease for love of the camera

(2) Due to the lateness of the hour, Li’l D would spend most the evening in meltdown (a.k.a. “whyaminotasleepyetmommyomg”) mode

These were totally unfounded.

Li’l D did initially find the microphone hovering above his head terrifying, as evidenced by his trying to escape it by burying his face in my shoulder. After a few minutes, he decided it was funny instead of dangerous, at which point he took to singing and waving his special pen at it between takes.
