I have a new profile picture, after some 5 years!
Yes, that's me--about 3 years old and still blonde--in the requisite Texas wildflower pose at my grandparents' place ("Raucous") in Denton. I include the full picture here. Note the mighty flexible "w" position! And the pond that was later drained and became a rose garden. Hey, Sis, I'm wearing pink pants! And a mighty butch navy pea coat (which I imagine my Bammie, who thought Gommie didn't dress me like a little girl, did not like. She thought the pants--and overly sensitive Mr. Rogers--might affect me. Little did she know she was right, but not because of clothes or tv!) I like that I'm smelling the flowers! A good reminder to the older, brunetter me.
I really adore this picture. I feel so nostalgic when I see old pictures or pictures of my family and friends when they were children. Sometimes I even feel like crying. I know, I'm weird. You mentioned the "w" seating. I was always correcting children by gently moving their legs or finding fun games to sit crossed leg etc. My daughter was a w sitter. I was told that it could cause hip problems etc. But after a little research of my own once A was doing it I read that children often grow out of it on their own and will not cause any permanent damage. Also it helps with posture and flexibility.
