One of my favorite things to do is to show Beckett pictures of myself around his age, and say, “Who is that, Beckett?” He almost always says, “That’s me, Mommy.” And well, he does look a LITTLE bit like I did when I was a kid, huh?

When I showed him this picture, he said, “That’s me, Mommy. Why am I wearing that dress????”

My grandmother made us these dresses for the 4th of July 1976. There was a bicentennial celebration of Independence Day. The dresses came with matching bonnets. I’ve still got the dress, but I wish I still had the bonnet!

Now everytime I look at this picture, I don’t see my siblings and myself. I see my brother’s little boy, Wyatt. I see Beckett. And I see Bella.
