Getting down on all fours and imitating a rhinoceros stops babies from crying. (Put an empty cigarette pack on your nose for a horn and make loud "snort" noises.) I don't know why parents don't do this more often. Usually it makes the kid laugh. Sometimes it sends him into shock. Either way it quiets him down. If you're a parent, acting like a rhino has another advantage. Keep it up until the kid is a teenager and he definitely won't have his friends hanging around your house all the time. ~P.J. O'Rourke

What does a child need most?

What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies. ~Rudolph Giuliani

The world is as many times new as there are children in our lives.

I would certainly agree with William Albert Allard, one of the most incredible photographers, saying  "I think the best pictures are often on the edges of any situation, I don't find photographing the situation nearly as interesting as photographing the edges". It is just when one stops posing and starts being himself, most of the times not paying attention to the people around. 

When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls! ~Ted Grant

Have you ever seen little baby's pray? 

Happy with wide open eyes and a BIG smile! Isn't it wonderful?! 

Boys will be boys

Boys are found everywhere—on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them.

A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.

Go Bokke!

Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future.

Great to see your smile!

Found such a cute and true saying about fathers:

"A father is someone who carries pictures in his wallet where his money used to be"

Wish we all could have both in abundance. Very often just a smile on the loved ones faces are really more welcome then money :)
