Smiles

Kids in Petite Riviere don't get their pictures taken very often.  When you attempt this, they are usually so puzzled that it's hard to get them to smile. You can say "souri" (Kreole for "smile") but this normally results in a look of Mona-Lisa bemusement.  For example, check out the photo in the "Shared Bond" blog below. 

But here is a trick that works every time.  You show them their picture on your digital camera. Giggles of delight are always forthcoming.  Of course that doesn't help you get a picture of them smiling, unless there happens to be a real photographer nearby who can capture the moment.

Such is the case here.  Bob Roller of CNS was visiting our clinic when these girls saw, perhaps for the first time, their digital images.  Everyone was delighted.
