This handsome little chap reminds me so much of my eldest boy when he was this age. He is now a big man with a beard, who will be 60 this year.

You only asked for a bit of color, but I gave him two or three bits.   ;)

I find that hard to believe, (and earlier in the thread you admitted that you are still cute).

He is not as cute as you are as a little lad.  :P ;D

Tis true I must admit.

Maybe you get your cuteness from the other side of the family?
Title: Re: Handsome little chap needs a bit of colour
Post by: jim1 on Wednesday 22 April 20 15:30 BST (UK)
Possibly.

Jim you were adorable ! Such a lovely little boy awwww.
The downside is that aunties wanted to kiss & cuddle me which didn't do
my street cred at nursery school any good.
It wasn't long after this was taken I escaped & caught by mom at
the bottom of our road.

This looks like a photo from a knitting pattern that my Mum had in the 1950s  ;D

This was store bought, nothing but the best.
Apart from that mother couldn't knit.
She did learn eventually & I had a lovely range of balaclavas
& swimming trunks.

What, you mean you never had mittens attached to a cord that slotted through the sleeves of your jacket  ??? My Mum used to knit for the neighbour's children and "Layettes" for new born babies...it was quite lucrative for her  ;D

Jim, do you have any embarrassing tales to tell about those woolly trunks?  ;)

Dangerous when wet?

Oh my goodness how wet knitted trunks grew   :o :o ;D ;D

Yes definitely made for cuddles and kisses  ;D
Were you in a lot of trouble for escaping or did you give Mum a big smile and get  away with it ?

It all ended in disaster.
Me & a co-escapee found the weak spot in the nursery defences & made our escape.
I made my way home but was held up at the corner shop as Mrs. Doe & Mrs. Dunn
were outside chatting & I would have been spotted.
The next thing I remember was being grabbed from behind by the enemy who was
on her way back from the shops.
I was taken home & sat on the rug in front of the fire...result.
It didn't last long as when the shopping was put away I was returned to the nursery crying like a baby (probably because I was one) where all the staff were searching for me.
My co-escapee was already in custody & was made to sit on the hot water pipe which ran along
the hall wall.
I knew what was coming next.
It was quite a pleasant feeling for about 2 mins. but soon became a bit too warm.
So sit on hands, hands get hot so sit on back of hands they get hot so back on botty & so on.
It seemed like an age but probably only lasted about 10 mins.
I was a marked man after that in more ways than one.
Re the trunks, I didn't know what embarrassing meant so running around like a cherub didn't worry me.
