 i was at my daughter's place and i asked my grandson Leo if he'd put on the stripey t-shirt so i could get a photo for this challenge .. when it came time to take the photo he said he didnt want to ..

i pushed a bit ... saying all he had to do was sit on the floor and look bored .. but that was above his pay grade ..

later on just before dinner he was at the table creating a game with those cards ..

i was sitting opposite .. so i grabbed my chance and took a couple of photos of him .. he was so engrossed that it was like i wasnt there ..

i'm wondering if the voters will notice the curtains and the chair which have stripes .. not as obvious as the t-shirt of course ..

i have no expectations for this .. but once again .. seeing i took the pic i'm entering it .. :)

btw .. the game was really fun .. he was writing out notes that he would put around the house .. that i would find .. each note had a message that directed me to the next note .. the end was me finding a hidden easter egg ..
i'd recommend the game for all ages .. was so good ..

It's enchanting - precisely because he is focused and not posing

Cute kid, meets the challenge nicely, and best of all, a great keepsake for you for years to come.

There are lots of stripes in this photo! Great candid moment!

edit to add: Maybe finding the stripes in the photo is almost as fun as playing his game (good one).

What a cute kid and I love his stripe shirt. This is a beautiful portrait. He reminds me of an old 50ies TV show. (Opie/Mayberry RFD) It doesn't get more adorable than this.
