Clowning Around

This is my 3 year old Grandson, Vincent. He wasn't real sure that he liked his Nana looking like a clown. But Nana sure has lots of fun doing this.

His little sister Charlotte who is not a year old yet, came to me immediately. She plays strange with people, but had no problem with a silly clown.
