This is one of the 500 baby pictures of me. Donny has about 150. Kathleen has about 50. And that's how it works when you are the oldest.
So lots and lots of attention and cute meticulously handmade outfits (with matching bonnets)... but also with a surplus of chub and a gigantic head.
I had a freakishly big noggin as an infant, too! BIG head, BIG brain, I always say.
ReplyDeleteYes! I need to do a post just about "The Thomas Big-Head."
ReplyDeleteI bet I've visited 10,000 blogs. I can only remember one that focused on sibling relationships. It was a blog by a woman in Florida who had four siblings. I think it was called The Five Little Laramores, but I can't find it now. They were in and out of foster care and she never developed the idea completley, but at any rate - there are very few blogs out there about siblings, which makes this one especially divine. =) I love the honesty-transparency of your writing - with never a hint of smarm. It's hard for most to achieve, but you've done so effortlessly. I am the youngest of five and I bet you were an awesome big sister to have...
ReplyDeleteI found you on For The Love of Blogs and thought I'd tag you in this writing meme/blog award called "7 Facts." If you choose to partake, go to http://idylltoast.blogspot.com/ to see the rules and copy the picture for your blog. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWow, Jen, that made me kind of teary-eyed. Thanks so much for the encouragement. When I got interested in starting a blog I didn't want to be too copy-catty of my sisters' blog, and I didn't want to be a mom blog... and then I realized the most unique I could share, is the three of us combined. Dang! Now I really need to post again, ha!
ReplyDeleteSunny, I will definitely check it out. Thanks for the invite!
