Last night my mom emailed me this adorable picture from when I was three years old. In the email she wrote, "Hope this goes through, this was one of your favorite games!! LOL".
I haven't seen very many pictures of myself as a young child in several years. My parents, until recently, traveled around parts of the US in an Oversized House on Wheels for their business. This last month, they finally set up a permanent address down in Arizona. So my mom has been going through some stuff they had in storage, such as all the photo albums, old home videos, etc.
Anyway, I opened up the picture and just started laughing like crazy! The first reason is because my son Noah is three right now. The only difference between this picture of me and the way he looks right now is his red hair. We have the same eyes, nose, face shape and smile.
The second reason I love this picture and think it's so funny, is because apparently when I was little my favorite game was to hide in a closet then sneak out and say "boo" to whomever had the misfortune to come by.... and guess what? ... I still enjoy doing that LOL
My kids LOVE it when we play Hide and Seek. I almost always hide in one of the closets and they get nervous to come and find me but excited at the same time becuase they know without a doubt I'm going to jump out and surprise them. Then we fall on the floor in a huge tickle fight until none of us can breathe.
I'm thankful that my mom has these beautiful gifts from our childhood and look forward to the day when she gets them organized (ha) and makes copies (no pressure) so that I can share them with my children.
