Ferrara's in Florida

Spring 1986

October morning in Florida requires a sweatshirt...until 9am   A Captive Audience for the Annual Puppet Show Joel's Favorite Part of the Pumpkin Patch

This was Joel's first hair cut in the big chair.  Usually he would sit on my lap and she would trim him up after trimming my hair, but Jacqueline gave him a booster seat and robed him.  He did great...was super serious...and received beaucoup attention from the ladies walking through the salon.   The end result

Joel in his new, full bed--Notice his sleeping buddies, some soft like the puppy under his arm, and a metal train under his hip...LOL Mission Accomplished:  Potty Trained! Can't Reach the Snacks? No Problem. Navigating his way down Boys Will Be Boys (because monkey see monkey do does NOT apply here)

We visited one of our friends who had a new baby boy.  My little daughters were given the privilege of holding a newborn while Joel played with the family cat.  This was a huge blessing for my girls because they love "real" newborn babies. Four-week-old Tristan fell asleep in Ruby Simone's arms  Notice the perfect hand/arm position that's been practiced with RubySimone, Joel and "Baby Boy" (Sable's toddler baby doll)
