5 years later, and she still asks for a turtle.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I post a picture and just a few words.
Remember these face-painting pictures from five years ago? Six-year-old Sonia always chose turtles, and 11-year-old Sonia does too.
I think it's not a phase.
Also...you might remember that hat. And its tag. Which we have since removed. 😉
Wow, does that hat still fit? I'm impressed! Bless her, turtles are so cute x
Oh, the hat is pretty new! We just bought that last year in Myrtle Beach.
But she does have kind of a small head, so hats fit her forever. Zoe actually hands hats down to Sonia. Ha.
Oh ha ha, now I feel silly I thought she had the hat when she was six, as well as the love for turtles. I've checked out the old photo now too. Bonus to be able to hand them down. I have four boys and one girl so no handing down for her. Have a great day x
Yeah, I have no sons to hand Joshua's stuff down to. But fortunately my sister has four boys, so Joshua's things go straight over to them!
Slow and steady...not a bad mascot for life, either. Sonia is adorable still, too.
Oh my, how cute even now!
I looked at the '5 years ago' page thought and the first thing I noticed was "oh my, look how young Joshua looks!"
It's funny how girls grow vs how boys change over a similar timeframe. Boys, when they become teenagers, look soooo very different to their former selves!
Anyway, love the new turtles. Yay for turtles!
Yes-and the last five years have been those quickly changing years for him, whereas Sonia's been more in that slow-change stage you're in before adolescence.
How cute! I like turtles, too -- especially the ones with lots of chocolate and gooey caramel! LOL
Five Frugal Things before 11 A.M. today:
1. I made breakfast with tomatoes,avocado and eggs we need to use before we leave town for a family reunion.
2. I sliced up tons of fruit to take on plane in reusable container , and also have sandwich fixings ready so we do not have to eat expensive unhealthy airport food.
3. I did not buy ANY NEW ITEMS for this trip--somehow I often think I need something new to wear on a trip,Truth is I have plenty of clothing shoes, etc and do not need to purchase anything new for a long long time!
4. I cleaned up a $12 bookcase I purchase on HALF PRICE MONDAY at our local thrift store-- it fits into a home office spot that has been patiently waiting for a thrift store find!
5. ???? I made my husband eat the half sandwich I could not finish yesterday, for his breakfast!! LOL!! It wasnt' too soggy!!!!!
Have a fun trip!
