A long time ago, my Dad printed photos of my sister Jackie and attached them to sticks. We thought it was funny to bring Jackie-on-a-stick to all the family events the real Jackie was unable to attend. I wish we had known then about this company: Build-A-Head. 

In the interest of full disclosure, I was contacted by Build-A-Head to see if I'd be interested in getting a set in exchange for a post. I jumped at the chance. I knew the Stu monsters would get a kick out of getting giant pictures of themselves. 

This week's throwback is Rea, when she was 4. I love this smiley face. 

I took this picture on the way to school one morning. Her W.O.W. (3-yr-old program) class was having a book character day... And my (way-ahead-of-her-time) cutie dressed as Hermoine from Harry Potter. She was not phased at all that every other girl was dressed as something princessy and frilly. She has always known what she likes, and she is not afraid to be unique. That is one of the things I love the most about Rea. 

So, Rea and I have decided to do the 365 photo challenge. She got a camera last year for her birthday, and we share a nerdy love of scrapbooking. What better way to mother/daughter bond than snap pics and scrapbook? Woo Hoo!
