The faces I love

The faces I love – Wordless Wednesday

by Cheryl, posted on May 23rd, 2012 in Parenting, Wordless Wednesday

It’s tough to be eight and have your mom hug you on the beach. It is SO NOT COOL. Also? I love that kid. And my beautiful girl, too.

And here’s a gratuitous picture of my other little boy, who still likes to give me “huggy snugs.”

Still am amazed how I can pop out three children without one looking anything like me. And no, we will not be trying for a fourth so I can finally see something of me in one of mine. But thanks for asking.

Historically kids were supposed to look like the fathers so they would take care of them … and yet, in this day and age – we do most of taking care of too

I thought they were supposed to look like their fathers so people would know who the father was, since maybe they were, er, spreading it around a bit more back in the day.

Sage has a cuter bathing suit than I do and Sawyer’s necklace kicks my jewelry’s butt.

I will avoid comparing myself to Xander since he appears to be naked and that can’t POSSIBLY work in my favor.

Either way, I love those faces. Even if they look like David instead of you. Hey. You married a handsome guy. It could be worse…

Seriously. That’s the only consolation, that at least my husband’s good-looking. If he were a troll? My poor kids!

Are you sure you don’t mean the grimace?

At least your kids look like their dad! One of my kids looks nothing like either of us, which is fine of course but still always a little surprising.

I love that picture!

Sage has your smile, and Sawyer has your disdain for over-sentimentality
