I have always loved to write. When I was a kid, it was mostly poems or short stories with accompanying pictures. Today I had the pleasure of digging through a big tub of my childhood stuff, 80% of which were papers. Some of it, I tossed really quickly, but lots of it I combed through piece by piece. Report cards were entertaining some years. WAY too many characters I made up. Notes I had written, or had been written to me. Journal entries. You name it, it was in there. Here are the most notable items.
First, a dress that was custom made for me an a little, little girl. Awkwardly enough, it still fit, somewhat. Doesn’t my head look unbelievably large this way??
Ok, friends, introducing me! Lol!
Then, this. If you have ever asked yourself why I blog, here you have it!
Me and Santa. Doesn’t he look happy to be in this picture?
When I said I wanted to grow up to be a mom, is this what I had in mind???
I wonder if my mom worried about me…
Aaaaand we’ll end on this questionable “book” I wrote. 😳 Mr. Drill.
Guess what. It only got sketchier.
Aaaaand sketchier.
But hey, at least he went on trips from time to time…
All in all, it was a very informative, entertaining afternoon. Now you all know far too much about me as a child. I’m both sorry, and not sorry.
I’m so proud of my little “minute”. (you are still my little minute. 🙂
We did have a great laugh today, didn’t we, Hailey. Thanks for going through the memories with me this afternoon.
You were such a happy little girl. So often I’d find you singing or humming and for a time I wonder if you ever really walked. I would say that you flitted around like a happy little butterfly.
It is soooo wonderful to be your mom and to have you as my child. I never really imagined I would have such spectacular children. I am so blessed!
I love you very much, my darling.
This is such a lovely message. I love you, too, mom!!
