The I Heart Faces theme is “Over My Head” and it took a little while to get inspired. I thought through some of the cliche shots then some more labor-intensive shots before settling on this idea.
This is my almost four year old, Tristan, and only some of the toys that watch over him as he sleeps. Even though he has the entire floor to play, his Happy Meal toys wage wars over the coveted spots on the headboard. The dinosaurs, lions, robots, and bad guys wait in the cubbies until he decides a happy meal toy needs to be demolished by the plastic jaws of T-Rex or the super kick of a Ninja. When he’s finally ready to fall asleep, he likes to line them up so they watch out for the monsters and other things that go bump in the night. And that’s how you know which toys he loves most, by which ones are right over his head.
