now, without further ado… let me assure you this child is not endangered nor lacking of love, but very  strategic when cartoons, chocolate milk and a blankie are on the line :) In the words of Papa, these are “Annabelle’s alligator tears”.  She’ll let them roll readily and quietly in times of disappointment, all while conveying a sweet innocence.  I just had to capture these gentle tears the other morning, and once she peeked at her image on my camera she wiped her tears and smiled.
