What is that face?

I was looking through my pics tonight and ran across the pics I took when my oldest swirlie turned 4, and I found this:
This is my middle swirlie, making what I call the Popeye face...this picture is actually not so bad, but this one:
shows almost the full blown Popeye smile.. and then there was this one:you can really see it.

This face he was making was only a phase that lasted for about a week, but I managed to get it on film almost every day of that week. I remember asking him to just smile, and him telling me "I'm am smiling Mom", all while talking from the side of his mouth. Just looking at these make me smile, cause God knows today was a trade them in day...whew, but we made it.

On a side note, I went to visit one of my girlfriend's yesterday (oh yes just for you dear) with my youngest two swirles. She happens to have two dogs and because we are a house with no pets my children have no idea how to really react to animals, let alone their treats, apparently. Okay, my dear sweet friend was trying to make my little ones feel more comfortable around the dogs, by getting them to give the doggies treats. Well little swirlie, thought she would sample hers before giving to the puppy. It wasn't so bad that she stuck the treat in her mouth it was that she seemed to enjoy it a little. Hmm, I wonder how much sugar there is in a scooby snack, she may be on to something here. I wonder what food group you would put that in on the WIC form...KIDDING!
