I guess I was thinking of the usual stereotype of glasses on kids in the media, though who knows if Vivian was thinking the same thing. I think in the case of this photo, I was struck by the particular type of frames the child has for his glasses, but maybe that's just an association for me. <br /><br />Vivian is clearly a misfit herself, and would (I think) believe that misfits are where creativity comes from. So I proudly hold up the misfit label.Daughter Number Threehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08171356533232458827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162206974728931335.post-16847512724280487112015-10-12T11:45:14.500-05:002015-10-12T11:45:14.500-05:00My heart hurts.

She has this fluffy hat with bear ears and pom poms hanging down that she wears. I want to get a print of the boy and a print of my daughter (whose expression is often challenging and spirited) and put them side by side. I see a strong, independent spirit in that photo (also my favorite of the batch of hers that I've seen). A true original. Not a misfit.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988129770304296577noreply@blogger.com
