Like Mother Like Daughter

I dug this "April" doll out of one of my many childhood boxes we have stored in the garage. My Aunt Judy made this for me and I thought Cadence would enjoy playing with her. At first, she named her "Shoes", as in ballet shoes. Then, she renamed her "Judy" since I told her that my Aunt Judy made her for me.

She has this cute summery romper on, but I had put my preschool shirt on her. As I was taking this picture of my shirt, I noticed that the picture studio was the same company that took Cadence's preschool pictures this past year, Teddy Bear Portraits. Crazy! Cadence, of course, did not want to keep my shirt on "Judy". Oh well.:)

I used to put a brown wig on her and play hair salon (since her hair is yarn, I couldn't style it, which is why I put the wig on her). When I got older, she used to sit in my desk chair. I would move her when I sat to do my homework and then promptly return her to her seat when I was finished.

Finn has been fascinated by teeth lately. He's been talking about his own, asking to see mine, and pointing them out on various toys. I don't know why. Maybe it is because he has such a mouthful. Look at that cutie! What a handsome lad.
