Do you ever…?
Posted by Compulsive Writer under be good to you , lost in a good book , reader appreciation week , sugar and spice[18] Comments
…wish you could find the little girl you once were and pull her close to you? Maybe give her a big hug and sit her down on your old plaid sofa right next to you so you could tuck her small self right under your arm, both of you snuggling under your favorite log cabin quilt while you read her favorite book to her?

In my case the book would have been Corduroy at one point
And this would be the little girl.
I almost forgot about her, but I just found the e-mail in which my little brother sent her long lost picture to me. And now I remember…
(Thanks Sue for the great idea in your comment.) If you’d like to join in the fun, post a picture of your little girl self along with one of her/your favorite books at that age. If you do, let me know in the comments and I’ll post a link to your blog.
I’d like you to meet…

You were, are, and always will be adorable.
I have too many favorites to name. I may have to do my own post on this.

You are too cute!!
And my faves are all the Frances books.
Best Friends for Frances; A Birthday for Frances, etc.
She’s a little badger and my dad used to read her to us. We have Frances references uses regularly in our house now. My girls love her, too.

You are so stinkin cute!
Having been a reading specialist (yes that was the new teaching job I took when we moved from Provo to California and it was the best job ever (aside from teaching your two brilliant sons) and the hardest job to give up) I have too many favorites confused with my childhood favorites. I do remember loving The Little Engine that Could and my favorite nursery rhyme was Hey Diddle Diddle.

[...] really little? I wouldn’t have tried to remember if it hadn’t been for a post over on Compulsive Writer. I didn’t really start to read a lot until much later (not that my parents didn’t [...]

Oh and I’d love to play but I can’t find my toothless pic. My favorite book was Green Eyes.

You are adorable!
I’ve got to find a pic, but I’ve got a book already to go. I’ll let you know!

I love that little girl!
Just last week I pulled out the Christmas pillow case you made for little girl me. I need it again this year.
When I get home I’ll post a photo. What a great idea!

Thanks! This was fun.

SUCH a cute picture of you. My book would have been Alice in Wonderland, snuggled up in my big canopy bed. Such wonderful memories!

Adorable picture! I like your twinkly eyes too! I posted mine today on my blog. This was fun remembering my six-year-old self! Thanks!

Heartstoppingly sweet. Wow.
I will have to jump on this bandwagon soon.
