This is absolutely adorable!! Everyone who entered deserves to win. Precious!! Angie F- I love the glasses!! My, oh my! These are cute!
ReplyDeleteI've had such fun receiving these adorable pics in my inbox. I understand the glasses on Angie's son are from a Mr. Potato Head doll. Cute! Only one entrant will receive the $15 gift card, but they are ALL winners in my eyes. Thanks for stopping by, Abby! :-D
DeleteThe glasses are from my Cabbage Patch Doll. In other words, his head was quite small. :)
DeleteAh! Cabbage Patch, not Mr. Potato Head. Must have been my subconscious taking over, since we have a picture of my youngest son with Mr. Potato Head glasses squeezed onto his face. Sorry for the blunder, Angie. I believe your little guy is the wee-est reader in the Photo Parade. What a cutie!
DeleteI hope my adorable lil niece win! Good luck emily and Morgan! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteAthina, be sure to share the Photo Parade with friends and relatives, and encourage them to become blog subscribers so they may vote. Thanks for being such an enthusiastic cheerleader. Emily and Morgan are blessed to have an aunt who loves them so much!
DeleteThat is the CUTEST thing! Love all these pics. Definitely made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThey're all so cute, aren't they, Pam? I want them ALL to win, but I can't afford that many $15 gift cards! Thanks so much for attending the parade. Your presence made ME smile. :-)
DeleteDiana, You are so right!! Every one of these pics is a winner! Argggghh! I want to vote for them all. Thanks for such a creative idea! It makes me smile just to see all these wee ones learning how awesome books are from such a young age.
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling with you, Kathy. Kudos to all adult readers who are sharing their love for books with little ones--and that includes YOU! I've enjoyed this Photo Parade so much that I just may hold the contest again next year. Thanks for joining the fun, and keep snapping those pictures! :-D
DeleteI subscribed but every time I go to click on the link "here" to email my vote it doesn't take me to anything ?!? It may be my computer is their another way to cast my vote! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteBritania, technology is wonderful--when it works. I apologize for the inconvenience. Try emailing your vote to me at diana(dot)prusik(at)gmail(dot)com. That should work. :-)
DeleteOkay, so each time I look at the pictures, I change my mind. I so wish I could vote for them all! They're all precious!
ReplyDeleteThey are all winners to me, too, Jennifer! Only one lucky entrant will get the $15 gift card, but all of these wee ones have an even better prize already: caring adults who share their love for reading. I'm so glad you stopped by, and if you manage to pick a favorite by Thursday night, send in your vote. :-)
DeleteI vote for # 13,
