I thought of "Pretty in Pink" when I saw her photo. The Silvers in the early years--

I hope no one minds me resurrecting this thread... I've been away for months and I'm trying to catch up, and this one is just too fun to pass up.

I want to see more pics of TE'ers as kids, so I'm adding one of my own!

This is in front of my grandparents' house in Arizona (and now *I* live in Arizona!) when I was not-quite-three years old.

The doll I'm holding is named Grunt. She is my first doll from when I was a baby. She has velcro that allowed her to hang on the crib bars... apparently, as a baby I would reach for her, and frustrated by my lack of freedom, arm-span, and/or motor skills, I would grunt. Thus, my parents named her Grunt, and that's just how it is. I should disclose that I still talk about Grunt in the present tense because she moved across the country with me for graduate school.

I would also love to know what kind of tree that is, because it looks like I'm standing in front of a giant pineapple (or perhaps I was a very small child...)!

Very cute, Badger. I like the story of Grunt. That's a Pineapple Palm (whowudda guessed it?). Phoenix canariensis for the botanical types here.

Badgercat, how cute!

Unfortunately most of my kiddie pictures are in Germany with my parents, all I got is a couple of baby pics, so here is me as a happy baby with my cousin:

Followed by me looking rather gormless, but a prime example of my messy eating habits. According to my mum, any food that went into my mouth would have to be pushed further in by my fist (apparently I could get my whole fist in!). The quality is unfortunately not very good, as these are photos of the originals, that's why there is so much reflection....

And then I grew into a rather lanky tomboy kid (must be about 9 on this one), I'm the one in navy in the middle of the back row...
