Worth a Thousand Words

We often hear that a picture is worth a thousand words.  A couple of days ago I took a photo of each of our kids and I think these images really illustrate how kids change as they get older.

Dylan, at age 3, is still smiling.  I know he doesn't really want to smile, but he knows that I would like to see him happy in the picture.

Alex, at age 5, doesn't like to get his picture taken anymore.  He will rarely smile and usually gives me his dragon face.

Kennedy, at age 7,  wears a mask and is hoping I don't recognize her.
