Pix of Me and My Old Dad -- I Mean, Old Pix of My Dad!

APOLOGIES, THIS BLOG WAS DRAFTED AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN POSTED TWO WEEKS AGO. THE SNOW IS NOW ALL MELTED...

It snowed again this past week, hooray! I got to go sledding and I discovered it's more fun to lie on my belly on our toboggan than to sit up -- then I don't fall off so much. I also realized mittens are a good thing, and kept them on my hands. Thanks, Grandma Gloria, for finding this warm and waterproof pair for me.

Mom took this picture of me and Dad and she says we look like peas in a pod, whatever that means. I think we look more like blueberries, myself.

This revelation inspired Mom to pull out some old pictures of Dad, back from when cameras couldn't record the color in the world. So I don't know what color Dad's snowsuit is here (oh, he says it was black with yellow stripes), but there is some similarity, don't you think?
And then here's Mom on a snowbank when she was 2-1/4, with her Uncle Clark. She liked blue snowsuits and light blue mittens, too!
Dad might be older than I am in the snow picture (he thinks he's 6 or 7), but these other two are from when he was 2-1/2, the age I am now.

And for further comparison, here's a photo of Mom when she was just the age I am now. She had a six-month-old sister at that time in her life! Whew, I can't imagine a baby in our house. I'm glad to be the one ruling The Roost.

Which parent do YOU think I most resemble?
