Cute Kids

My wife and I have 2 baby boy grandchildren, ages 6 and 4 months. On those occasions when we get roped into, I mean blessed with the opportunity, to babysit we naturally encounter those crying spells. There are many different ways to calm a crying baby but this mom gets a prize for most inventive.

This baby's emotional reaction to mom's singing is priceless.  Does the ten month old feel the emotion of the song 'My Heart Can't Tell You No,' or is it a reaction to mom's face while she sings?  Either way, her smiles and tears are heart warming.

Imagine a world without candy on Halloween. Now that's scary! Kids are given veggie-flavored treats as an alternative to Halloween candy in a new commercial and their reactions are priceless.

Did you have trouble in school or struggle with one course? For me, it was science.  For this British boy, it was math and English; courses he had a F in.  A C was required to pass, but neither his dad or teachers thought he could obtain it.  The only thing better than proving everyone wrong, was dad's reaction when he found out his son passed.

Meet Gavin Mooney of New Hartford. He's 4-years-old and his favorite country artist is Johnny Cash. Who knew a 4 year-old even knew who Johnny Cash was.  Watch his adorable performance of 'Folsom Prison Blues.'

Now this is a birthday wish money can't buy.  Two year-old  Claire Konkel of New Jersey, recorded a birthday wish for mom. Her father planted the video in his wife's iPod and labeled it 'Watch Me!'

"What's so great about bubbles?" "They float, you can pop them, I get it." "I wish I liked anything as much as my kids like bubbles."

After having wisdom teeth surgery, fifteen year old Annie seemed confused. Her mom tried to explain she just had her teeth taken out, but Annie couldn't believe her.  She thought she was a NASCAR driver and was in a bad accident.

It's the place every kid wants to go. Disneyland.  Two years ago Lily Clem's parents surprised her with a trip to Disney for her 6th birthday.  They did it again. Instead of going to school they told Lily and her little sister, they were going to Disney, again. Watch Lily's tears of joy and her sister's confused reaction.  It doesn't look like she's old enough to know what all the fuss is about. 

When a man grows a beard it may take some getting used to. When he shaves it off it again takes some time to adjust. This little girl had probably never seen daddy without his bushy beard so when he decided to shave it off it came as a shock to her. Did she say, "Daddy, you look so much younger"? Not quite.

When I was a kid my cooking skills were limited to throwing a hot dog into a pan of boiling water. The kids on the new FOX reality show "Masterchef Junior", debuting Friday, are apparently somewhat more skilled in the kitchen. It's described as a cooking competition between 24 kids ages 8 to 13. From the looks of the trailer they're pretty good. Check it out.

What's better than surprising your kids with a trip to Disney?  Surprising your daughter with Taylor Swift concert tickets. Chase Easterwood thought she was on her way to eat sushi with her parents, after the last day of school. They were actually en route to a Taylor Swift concert. Her reaction is priceless. First she's in shock. Then she lets out a squeal before her excitement turns to tears. Re
