“What’s this?” Reid asks, pointing to his upper lip.
“It’s just some dirt,” I reply, licking my finger and wiping it across his face.
The speck of dirt does not vanish.
“Huh.” I frown, bending my face close to his for a more in-depth inspection.
“Oh!” I exclaim, smiling at him. “I think you have a little birthmark!”
He looks at me, thoughtfully, digesting this strange new word. Turning toward the mirror, he once again rubs at his face, trying to remove the mark.
“Leave it,” I admonish. “It’s not going to go away. It’s a tiny little mark and now it’s part of your face. It’s beautiful! It’s a Cindy Crawford!”
He looks at me like I just told him that Santa Claus eats reindeer kabobs for dinner.
“I DON’T WANT THE CINDY CRAWFORD!” he yells, horrified.
Oh Reid, you don’t know how beautiful you are.
even that serious stern look he is giving the camera he is adorable. what about a russel crowe look even if his is on his cheek
Hmmm… I don’t mind birthmarks on people! I think it’s very unique and personal :)
I meant Russel crowes is on his cheek not above his lip. I think so too he is adorable
I also meant in case he didnt like the girl name
Oh he’s too cute! I love it! “The Cindy Crawford”!
Hahaha yup… he’ll probably go around telling everyone.
He is so cute Lena :)
Thank you Helene :)
LOL….that is quite the look on his face! He is a cutie!
LOL – this is his “I am so not impressed” look.
Someone looks upset but he is so cute Lena! Didn’t you notice the mark before?
Nope! I mean, he’s always had a really faint dot there, which I didn’t really think about, but it darkened almost overnight!
awww, great story! funny how the mark just appeared.
I agree… but I guess they have to appear some time, right? I have a few birthmarks that appeared in my teens )
He is so adorable even with his stern look…lol
Aw, thanks Lynda :)
Oh, tell him a “cindy crawford” isn’t too bad. I’ve had one all of my life and I love it!
He’s part of your club now!!
Aww, what a dolly – growly face and all! I bet you when he’s grown he’ll love the attention his sexy mark gets from the ladies! I always thought I was called a Marilyn Monroe though…or is that just the facial piercing..?
Hmm… that is the facial piercing, but it’s obviously the birthmark too! I guess we could call it the Marilyn, or the Madonna!
ROFL !!!
It is part of what makes him so unique :) Love the scowly look too – ladies watch out when he grows up is all I can say ! :)
He’s scowly 25% of the time, hahaha!
my daughter has the Cindy Crawford too. I love it :)
We need to get our little supermodels together :)
Aww how cute!
Thank you Yuen!
They grow up too quickly you’ve got to kiss and hug that scowl while he lets you. My 10 year old is not as affectionate as he used to be.
Oh, don’t I know it! My 6-yer old is still very affectionate, but Reid just turns away from our attempts to cuddle!
nice photo
Thank you :)
so much the little ones don’t understand! Miss K was horrified as the birthmarks started coming… but seeing others with them , especially in school, helped a lot.
He’s beautiful so beautiful God gave him a mark to show the world just how beautiful he is! .. that’s what we told Miss K lol
Oh, I love that Darlene! I will definitely let Reid know :)
Hes adorable.
Thank you Jaime :)
He’s adorable! That birthmark makes him even more special than he already is. :) I just noticed a similar birthmark right underneath my 5 year old son’s nose. I thought it was dirt at first too. :)
Aw, that’s too funny Cheryl! Strange how they just pop up around that age :)
That is so adorable :) I can only imagine what anyone else within ear shot must have thought hah
Hahaha thankfully it was just the two of us :)
I think its cute! Birth marks are unique and all different
Yes, they are! And they are called “beauty spots” for a reason!
Haha the displeasure on his face!
He could give grumpy cat a run for his money :)
He is adorable and looks perfect. Children say the greatest quips!
Aw, thank you Lori :)
Hehehe, look at that adorable glare. Don’t worry Reid, it makes you look extra cute ;)
I can understand his concern. He is his own person and quite wonderful!
He is so cute Lena,my granddaughter has a strawberry shaped birthmark on her tummy,its bigger than a toonie
Awe too funny,he sure is a handsome boy!
I love his steer look!! He is getting more handsome by the day
Oh boy, from the picture above I can see that he really doesn’t want the Cindy Crawford lol. Maybe if you explained how much money Cindy has and how many toys he could buy he might change his mind. Lol
Love this kid and his expressions,he’s so adorable !
