This is the look I call ‘the pout’. Children learn it at a very early age when their clever little heads realize they can exert emotional pressure on you. It immediately follows a rejection from you to one of their strong wishes. They test it repeatedly and they realize over time that it mostly works on fathers and has only a little effect on mothers. Some still use it as adults to receive needed attention. As adorable as it is, my only response to it is to photograph it 🙂
