Claire just turned 3, she just got her cast off after she broke her arm. She is a cute, fun, loving, grumpy little girl. We like to take pictures of her whenever she is well groomed. Which doesn't' happen very often. Today she let me to her hair like Megan's and we had to document it.
I want to talk about the way Claire smiles when we tell her to say cheese. She squints her eyes and shoes us her teeth the best she can. She gets really happy and excited at gives us her best smile. My cousins (boys obviously :D ) would never smile for pictures, they would just try to widen their mouths a bit and call it good. These I believe are the two different views you can have on life. You can take what you've got and feel like you only need to give a little bit, just a widened mouth with your lips sealed shut. Or you can look at what you've got and give it your best shot and smile for all you're worth, try to make the best of every situation and be as happy as possible.
I am going to think of that every time someone smiles that way now.. and my eyes also might start to water....... because of coincidence of course. :)
