He explores the complexities of sharing children's images on social media, balancing parental joy and documentation with privacy concerns, consent, and the eventual moment when his daughter will be old enough to ask him to stop. The article is a personal, humorous, and heartfelt defense of this parenting choice in the age of oversharing.

· 3 pulledI was sitting in the pediatrician's office, mentally preparing to take my daughter Lulu in to get a few shots, when a woman, carrying her own toddler, walked over to us and casually said, 'Hi Bagelface.'
The nickname came pretty naturally: I eat a lot of bagels and the bagel emoji is playful but, more important, fits perfectly over a little face.
I'll never quit posting my emoji-obscured kid on social media, no matter what you think. Until, of course, she's old enough to tell me to stop. God, I hope that doesn't happen.
