Flashback Friday--Like Father, Like Son

Today's Flashbacks are in honor of my sweet boy, Roy (#1). Ever since we found out that our second child would be a boy and I started buying and receiving cute smocks, bubbles, appliqued jon-jons, etc, I have never heard the end of it. I was given a time limit for these clothes, each Sunday I'd hear--and still hear-- the grumble. When I showed him a new find I got at a sale I'd see the rolling of the eyes and hear the "I'm sorry, Buddy" comments.

Well Roy, lookie what I found in your baby box. I think these fashions have a little history in the Graham family tree. Here is a trip down memory lane of some of your best toddler getups. (p.s. I married a cute, cute boy!!).

Remember last summer when I bought that cute little froggie bubble for RoyBoy? I definitely didn't get a round of applause when I brought that thing home. Hmmm. Looks like someone else was a little partial to frogs appliqued on his jon-jon. Get used to this sight, because Roy Austin has a few of these in his Summer '09 Collection:

Here is Roy and his cousin, Jerusha, sitting on their grandparent's front lawn wasting tissues. Roy is sporting another cute little jon-jon, knee socks, white booties and all. And by the looks of these last two pictures, someone really loved his paa-paa:

Here is the Graham family sitting for what I think was their Christmas card photo? Jane help me out, here. Check out little Roy in his lederhosen. See, real boys wear knee socks, Roy, and it's okay for little men to wear saddle shoes, too:

This sweet picture makes me smile. You can barely tell, but yes....Roy is wearing what I can only assume to be a longall. Roy Austin wore these a few times this past winter and they passed the test with mild eye-rolling. This flashback is more for the cuteness factor and the fact that there is no doubt that Roy Austin has his Daddy's hair. The color, thickness, style. It's a little clone-ish:

And there is no doubt that Roy is HIS Daddy's son. When I saw this picture, I saw Roy big time in Franklin. Roy's mouth, hair and serious, concentrating stare look just like his dad's did in the picture! I actually see it all the time in his facial expressions. It's scary how much a child can resemble a parent:

Oh, and if you want a good Easter craft/snack idea to do with your children this weekend or next week, I have one posted on Roof With a View today. Click on the link to see the how-to. It's very easy, yummy and the kids will love it!

Have a good weekend, everyone! We are off to Lynchburg tomorrow for Spring Break! The Logans are coming up from Florida, too, so it will be a slam-packed week of cousins, Caroline's 4th Birthday, seeing old friends and even a Mary Kay party thrown in:)
