They say over time owners and their pets start to look alike. Could be. Cole used this particular face the other night when I told him he couldn’t have a cookie.
I’m used to that sweet, sad face with puppy dog eyes . . . he can pull it out of no where if occasion calls for it. I held my ground. Then in a very slow, drawn out Cole kind of way, with his sad face primed, he asked, “Mom, don’t you like me anymore?”
The combination was more than I could take. I swept him up, smothered him in kisses, and assured him that indeed I liked him very much.
It’s in moments like this when all the parenting advice in the world drops from your brain. In case any parenting gurus have found my site, I just want to say for the record, I did not give him one cookie . . . I gave him three!

Oh My Word, do they come any cuter? Could you please put that little child in my daughter's suitcase and ship him off to Michigan? I'm sorry, I too would have given in and handed out the goodies :)
toooooo cute :-)
hahahaha! Couldn't help but laugh out loud!
He really does have one of the most puppy-dog sad faces I ahve ever seen...
That is the sweetest story! Thanks for sharing it.
I have to say, I've seen all of your kids "puppy dog eyes" looks and Cole's is definitely the best!
I can't resist any of your children's "puppy dog eyes"!!
