Video: Baby sees his father without a beard for the first time

A shocked baby.
Playing peek-a-boo, father Michael wants to show his eleven-month-old son Theo what he looks like without a beard.
He covers the lower part of the face with a towel until it dissolves.
The toddler is obviously enjoying the game.
But then the father takes the towel away. What follows is a shocked facial expression.
“He didn’t cry. His jaw just dropped and he looked at me in shock,” Michael told SWNS.
Shortly after the shock, the little one begins to feel his father’s face with his hands. It seems as if he would check whether it is actually still his own father.
In the end, Theo lets his father, who now looks different, tease him.
Michael is now letting his beard grow again because that’s how his son and his wife Amy like it best.
His wife Amy said: “All men look better with a beard. I’m right about that, right?”
