She gave me a smile I could feel in my hip pocket. ~Raymond Chandler

For the past week and a half, my daughter has been “reminding” me to smile. She wakes me up in the morning by prying my eyes open with her little hands. Some days I pull the covers tight over my head and tell her to go back to bed, lol! But on those days when I really dont mind having my sleep interrupted because its yogalaties [yoga/pilates] time, she gives me the biggest smile ever.
I remember one day last week, I was getting ready to go to a meeting. As I came out the room. She said, ” Oh mommy you look beautiful….but you’re missing your smile!” I smiled really big every time I saw her…and she smiled back
I didn’t even think of this when she asked me to snap this photo of her this week. She said this was her “big smile!”
I say it doesn’t look like a smile at all…more like she is straining, lol…I know she has a beautiful smile so maybe that will be part 2 of her smile week.

*this weeks smiles of the heart*
well…. duh
