Noah was born about the same time as Toby, Laurie Hertzel's beloved dog. Top photo: They meet as pups in 1989. Next photo: Noah, wobbly with puppy-love at the sight of Laurie's curly hair, offers her a swig of lukewarm baby formula. (Laurie kindly informed Noah's straight-haired mother that she needed a special comb for curls after observing her torturing little Noah with a conventional comb.) Bottom two photos: At a young age, Noah and Toby were both very scholarly, and liked nothing better than chewing on a good book. Noah, however, would wear a bib on such occasions.
the trick for curly hair is: never comb it when it's dry. it hurts like heck, and it separates the curls into fuzz. combing while wet keeps the ringlets together. i'm sure noah realizes this.
ReplyDeletei love those pictures. the glasses! i'd forgotten about those glasses! why did we have a pair of empty frames hanging around? and why such extraordinarily ugly frames??
