What is it about Smiles?

Tonight when I was rocking Max, he just kept smiling.  I was trying to be silly to make him smile, but nontheless, babies smile with such ease.  I love that about babies.  Max smiles for so much of the day ... a sign of happiness, I suppose.

Babies smile when you smile,
they smile when you sing,
they smile when you put them in the bath to splash,
they smile when you play ball with them,
they smile when you do the simplest of things.

I guess it just reminds me that I need to smile more often and stop all that tension in my eyebrows and forehead.  Stop the worry ... just smile and relax that expression.  Turn it into something pleasant ... like a smile.  Yep - I think I need more of that.

Breathe and smile... breathe and smile.


Now... this hillbilly baby of mine dressed up as a cow sure makes me smile - that's for sure.
