"That boy could get anything with that smile"

Last week I took Max to the doctors becuase he had been very fussy and cranky and picking at his ears. We waited 2 hours before seeing the doctor, through nap time. He was really really good and didn't do much fussing at all (now that we were actually at the doctors.)

When the young doctor finally came in to see him he smiled and cooed at her throughout the examination, making me look like the worried mom who made all his symptoms up (which kids can be good at doing.) Diagnosis - probably just teething pain, give him tylenol if he's very fussy, but there's nothing wrong with him.

As she leaves the room, she turns back to say Bye and Max flashes her another of his winning smiles. She smiles back at him and says to me "Boy, that boy could get anything from anyone with that smile!"

I obviously think my boy is gorgeous and has the best smile in the world, but it's nice to know that someone else who's not related to him does too!
