I meant a normal smile










My sister-in-law has four darling girls. She sends pictures of her darling girls wearing darling dresses, doing darling things--like smiling at the camera. Not scrunching up their faces, grimacing, baring their teeth, or other imitations of smiling. I look at those pictures and I covet. No amount of bribery, threats, or other forms of motivation seem to work on my offspring.

Kristen--

Get used to the male attitude. I have four boys and every one of them has had his one version of a "cheese" smile. It does make you laugh a year after the fact (at 2 in the morning when no one is around), but, at the time, can be quite frustrating. We even have a picture of Jonathan doing a "mad scientist" pose. Some boys NEVER grow up. :)
