Just as Zoolander has Blue Steel, Livia has The Dark Look. She’s developed it quite recently and tends to use it if frustrated or simply thinking really hard. I confess, The Dark Look is a bit shocking at first and is simultaneously irksome and funny. Sometimes it takes all my resolve to not laugh at the darkness employed in my little daughter’s face.
This is not a great picture… My camera didn’t even want to focus on the Scowl to End All Scowls.

Have you been urged to put your pix on Flickr? I’d like to tag stuff like this as a favorite to make it easy to come back to from time to time.
Consider yourself urged.

This picture reminds me of…me! I bet this is the look my husband Mitch sees on a daily basis. Love your blog! :)

I actually laughed out loud. That is too adorable…I don’t know how you can keep a straight face. :)

it’s good to know we’re not the only ones who cant help but laugh at such things.

That is too cute, particularly with the dirt smear on her face. It’s a good thing you find it humorous now, because I’m sure you won’t in 10 years!

Just since he turned 7, my third son has started doing this sad frown that is simultaneously heart-breaking and hilarious.
First he did it from genuine emotion–but he can pull out this frown on call now.
Your daughter just gets cuter each month!

Oh, that’s funny!
The dirt really is a nice touch. :-)
