I've chosen this lovely photo of my youngest daughter smiling. FYI it's hard to snap photos of her smiling. It's a rare thing to happen as she's a serious person.

Why I love to see my baby smiling: She doesn't like to smile a lot. So, once she smiles, I know that she's really in a good mood and she definitely is healthy. Her smile will brighten up my day and it's  a quick fix to my stress.(well, being a SAHM is quite stressful too). Furthermore, smiling is an essential tool to her social and emotional context. Without being able to offer a smile, she might be misjudge by other people especially when she grows older. People might think that she's arrogant and snobbish. I wouldn't want her to have those labels because she won't be able to make a lot of friends then. I reckon I should encourage her to smile more often by letting her play with her favourite toys and games, singing her favourite songs tegether, preparing her favourite food (she loves to eat almost everything), having some fun trips and doing things that she loves to do. I also want to share this song called "Smile" by Nat King Cole. We (my baby, her big sister and I) love to listen to this song since we always hear this on one of the commercials on TVNZ. It's one of our special songs now as we sometimes sing this song together (well, most of the time I sing this time to cheer them up and they love it):

Smile though your heart is aching

Smile even though it's breaking

When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Now, before I forget, I must include these links:
