I will demonstrate:
Camera ready, I say "Hey, look over here."
And I get this. So I say, "Can you smile?"
So he smiles. Cheese-ball smile. So I say, "No, really smile!"
So he does cheese-ball to the 4th power. So I say "Just smile NORMAL."
So he frowns, of course. So I tell him to say pickle, and he says pickle like an angry sailor would say - well nevermind. So I say, "Geez, are you mad at the pickle?!"
And -- he giggles.
And smiles.
And finally, he looks at me and smiles like a normal person.
When he smiles at me I swear my heart explodes every time. (It's possible I'm not going to be a very good mother-in-law.)

Actually, you'll be a GOOD MIL, because nothing makes you happier as a mom than seeing the kid you love and adore be happy. I'm lovin' my DIL. And my new granddaughter!!!
That's really good advice! I'll try to remember it.
P.S. I never understood about Mothers-In-Law until I had a boy :)
Meadowlark- Congratulations!!!!!!!
Rima - I utterly failed to understand remotely the mother-son thing. (I was totally his first love. He's miiine!!)
That was TOTALLY worth the few seconds of frustration!
He is so handsome!
