I get this face a lot. And a slight variation is the one below. Her brow gets a good workout around me. Somehow she can’t quite believe somebody put ME in charge of HER.
What were they thinking?
Quite frankly, I can’t believe it either. She is much better at being in charge. Quite energetic and emphatic about everything.
Get UP Mommy.
DANCE, Mommy.
RACE with me Mommy. I WIN!!!

Mommy, I’m King.
(when she’s not a princess…)
Ever since she was born, she has been the queen of scowl. Skeptical of her parents and everyone else. Oh, she has a beautiful smile and a wide range of wonderful and charming expressions, but her scowl is exceptional, especially when she comes up with gems like this one.
She calls for me and I go to her. She then claims that she doesn’t want me…, she wants her parents.
I reply that I am her parent.
NoooOOOOO!!!
I want Nana and Papa to be my parents.
I agree – I want Nana and Papa to be your parents too.
For a day or two anyway.

See what I mean?
This picture was taken on her first birthday…
Like I was trying to put one over on her…
