Today is picture day, and Liam was so excited this morning.
He only argued only for a minute when I put a shirt on him with a collar and
buttons. I asked him how he was going to smile, and he gave me this crazy,
exaggerated grin that would scare turn even the saddest person happy. “No, not
like that, Liam! A REAL smile! Can you do a real smile?” I asked. General
confusion followed. Then I felt bad, because I certainly didn’t mean to steal
his joy, and his cheeeezzzy smile is still cute and miles past the blank stare
that we used to be so familiar with! I am still learning when to let him be himself
and when to try to correct him or guide him in another direction. One thing I
know for sure it that I’m happy when he is happy!
Happy picture day!
