  • Whadda Face . . .

    Amos, like his younger older brother, is a people person.  Anybody that smiles at him gets a return on the investment.  He gets passed around at church, and is ready to play with whoever gets him next.  He’s just very social.

    He loves–loves–looking at pictures of people.  So yesterday, I made a collection of a bunch of the face pictures I have and made it my screensaver.

    Big.

    Hit.

    He loves–loves–watching those faces cycle through.

    Silly faces . . .

    Happy faces . . .

    Sad faces . . .

    Matchy faces . . .

    Familiar faces . . .

    Faces he doesn’t see so often . . .

    There are a lot of funny pictures of Theo in the mix.

    A lot.

    And some funny pictures of other people, too.

    Even his own beautiful face.

    A few weeks ago a blogger on HuffPost made a bit of a splash by encouraging moms to get in pictures with their children.

    (Miz Booshay had already encouraged moms to do that several years earlier.  But we’ll let Ms. Tate enjoy having written something that similarly resonated with people.)

    And it’s true.  Moms are often the ones behind the camera, or the ones saying, “Oh, no, please no pictures of me!”

    But everybody else needs to get in the picture, too.  The cute babies, and the darling older brothers, and the frumpy moms, and the awkward teens, and the wish-I-were-younger aunts, and the can-you-see-my-bald-spot uncles, and the gap-toothed school-agers, and . . . everybody.

    If you want to make sure you’re in Amos’s Favorite Faces folder, feel free to send me a picture of you!
