OK, free parenting tip.
To try this on your own boat, begin with a 2-year old who is distraught that his mom ran out to the store without him:
Say, "Let's both make a sad face for the camera." Take a picture. Show it to him.
Say, "Oops, I didn't do a good sad face. Let me try it again." Take a picture. Show it to him.
Say, "Now let's make happy faces." Take a picture. Show it to him.
Say, "Let's try again!" Take a picture, etc.
Say, "You almost did it, let's try again!"
Say, "I know, let's do a happy face with bunny ears!"
Problem solved.
