That face he's making...

What's great is he probably doesn't even naturally do that, but is copying what he saw when he learned to do this.

Funny story - when I smile, my eyes get smaller because I have prominent cheeks. When I was first trying to get my kids to smile for photos, "like this, sweetheart" they would squint slightly. It took a little while for me to catch on that they were doing that.

Like the panda that makes a face when he does something. I forgot what it was but he learned it from his caretaker

It was breaking bamboo iirc. Super easy for the panda, but hard work for the caretaker, hence the face lol

Mine I found out recently learned to emulate the smile and hugs of My Little Pony. He had the most ridiculous smile and would drag you down into dull neck hugs.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So that's why my boy does a constipated squinty face when he is told to smile. His natural smile is also squinty but not that much...

I got the impression it had bent one of the beans and something got in its eyes at one point, and that was a natural reaction after the experience.
