Boys Don’t Smile
At least not the one in my family.
Mina has always been quite the camera ham. She hardly ever takes a bad picture.
Benji, on the other hand…
He’s a little crazy!
Let’s just say that some of my more blunt friends have remarked on how “crazy” he looks in pictures and his own father has asked me why Benji had such “crazy eyes.” I’ll admit that I was in denial, but even I realize that he does look a little crazed. He’s grown out of that look…sort of.
I dunno, maybe his sister overwhelms him?
Recently…
We took the kids to the Arboretum for Fall Blooms and yearly pictures of Mina (and now Benji). Mina’s pictures…perfect. Benji’s? Well, let’s just say that many of them ended up on the cutting room floor. Since these will never otherwise see the light of day, I present them to you here…
I'm not going to smile or look at the camera.
Get that camera away from me.
IF I HAVE TO TELL YOU ONE MORE TIME...
The pretty girl with the fake smile is going to get it!
Saying Cheese!!
And when Benji actually does manage to say “CHEESE”? Here’s how that turns out.
Yes, family members have said that he looks devilish. That’s my nice way of saying looks like the devil.
Benji cheeses very hard! "YOU WANT A SMILE, I'LL GIVE YOU A SMILE!"
Dude, what is up with him??
CHEEEEESSSSEEEE!
I happen to be a tad bit biased and, no matter what, I think he’s a super-cutie…
Sweet Mina turns it into a cute picture
And Boys Don’t Cry? Yeah, right….
Oh my god - these are so damm cute! Thanks for sharing a little piece!
LOL! Thanks! A mom never knows if it’s a face only a mother could love!!
Hahahaha!!!
Grace,
These pictures are SO cute! Loved them!
Thanks, Sole, I know you’re one of Benji’s biggest fans!
