Who could refuse a smile like this?

This clever child has discovered the power of smiling. Just the other night, after feeding and changing both boys I wanted to catch a nap, but Trey was fussy. After several trips to the nursery to sooth him, I attempted to let him cry a little, hoping he would tire soon and go back to sleep. Unfortunately, the persistent young man continued to cry with an escalating intensity that eventually forced my angry return to his bedside. All my tired and aggravated fury instantly evaporated the moment I confronted him and he looked up at me and smiled with a “hello Daddy, want to play?” expression. We played until dawn.
