Before Jordan was born, my dear friend Dagny gave him a number of extremely thoughtfully-chosen books.One of them was Harold and the Purple Crayon, which I remember fondly from childhood. Nick, however, had never read it.
But you know, these kid books are so fun, and even if you don't have fond memories attached, the good ones are still delighful.I'm not saying Nick reads himself to sleep with them, but I'm not saying he doesn't.
So Nick was flipping through it, and stopped and asked, "Does Harold remind you of anyone?"
I kind of think he's right.Happy weekend, all!
Adorable! I haven't read this book but the resemblance is striking :) Happy Weekend!

gaah! why does it always double my comments for you?
ReplyDeleteThe resemblance IS striking. Also? J looks like he's ready for you to start taking dictation. Or for you to get him his coffee. Or something.
ReplyDeleteI've never read that book but I definitely see the resemblance.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the last photo? Your boys in matching blue? Melts my heart.
Two words: Washable Crayons. Trust me on that.
ReplyDeleteAnd the photos?? NOM NOM NOM to Big J!!!
Wow, that makes the book so much cuter.
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel a little bad that I call Alex Wild Thing from Where the Wild Things are. He always seems to be roaring his terrible roars.
Not that bad though.
Adorable! And I love Big J's hand resting on his Dad's. :)
ReplyDeleteHKW - Isn't it? I think it's hilarious. That round head and turned-up nose.
ReplyDeletenotsojenny - That first picture makes me laugh. I took a number of them and that one just grabbed me.
As for the doubling, I don't know. That happens to me as well.
Dagny - Absolutely. It's like he's had his donuts and is ready for me to fetch him another cup of coffee before I go over his afternoon schedule with him.
Hillary - It wasn't planned, but I do like that they're all blendy.
cla517 - I didn't know those existed! VERY good idea. Thank you!
KLZ - That's another of the favorite books ever ever ever. I wouldn't feel the least bit bad - I think that's very cute!
kayare - I love it when he does that. I get all melty.
He is seriously adorable. And I think I have that same rug.
ReplyDeleteHe is absolutely right! I guess you have your first Halloween costume :)
