You gotta do what you gotta do

One thing I love about toddlers is how honest they are.
Miles doesn't smile at strangers.
He's one of those babies that just looks at you-ok STARES at you.
You can smile at him, wave to him, talk to him, even make those silly high pitched noises and he will NOT smile.
Usually I'm completely happy with his lack of effort to include the lady behind us in the shopping line in our conversation.
The other day we were shopping and this older man was trying SO hard to get even a small smile. He was waving, playing peek-a-boo, even going so far as to tickling his tummy gently.
I said, 'miles, are you going to wave?'
And just like that he shook his head 'no' and looked the other way!

Sometimes I wish I could just be like Miles and other toddlers. If they want to do something, they will. If not, they absolutely will not.
Today, Miles felt like doing this for about 5 whole minutes:

And of course I had to take a picture or two.

I think we could all learn something from toddlers. They just don't give a darn what you or anyone else in the world thinks of them!

Look at my sad SAD version of a button/tag whatever you call it.
Not bad for my first try, but if ANYONE out there is good with that stuff, I'd be eternally grateful if you could help me create a button that doesn't look like you sat and copied an online tutorial! (hint hint)
====================================

OK, Tonya not only is super talented, but TOTALLY rocks! If you are now looking at the button, this is the super improved, way better than my piece of crap one! You missed it! Go visit her! Thanks Tonya!
