Our Big Boy

I continue to scan slides and this one comes out of our first box. Our first child was a pride and joy and one of the reason for buying a 35mm camera to record scenes such as this. Elaine and I both grew up on farms and his grandparents were still farming at this time. We think my Mother may have made the little black donkey and believe that his overalls came from Flowerdays. I had a little "boy" doll as a youngster and may have had something to do with the "cowboy" doll. I'm sure the hat on Verlon's head would have been as much too big for the doll as it is too small for him. It was a few months later when he got an electric train for Christmas like I always wanted.
