Changing your profile pic to a childhood pic...who's in?

I was thinking, how about for atleast one week during the month of April, we encourage all our mfp to change their profile pic to a picture of them as a kid. I think that would be fun to bring out the kid in all of us. Its a reminder that as a kid, we rode our bike or played tag for hours. If we could get back to that mentality, riding bikes, jumping rope, rollerskating, we'd all be healthy without even considering it a chore. So scan your favorite childhood pic and post it! No scanner, well I just took a picture of my pic and used it.
C'mon, do it! We were all cute as kids. It will definitely put a smile on your face!

    Mine is at my aunt's wedding. I don't remember how old, but i was a jr. bridesmaid. My aunt wanted us all in the wedding so my sister was the flower girl by brother the ring bearer and that left jr bridesmaid for me. :o)

    Is your picture a wallet size picture or an eight by ten?

    My little brother and I. He started watching what he ate (rather fanatically, I must say) and working out sometime last summer. He's really gotten back into shape...I have to catch up!

    to be honest, I just took the picture of my picture with my digital camera. There's a setting for taking a picture of a document. And then I just uploaded it. My scanner stopped working (from having too much stuff on top of it, I guess the pressure broke it over time.) That's why the quality is not the best, but you still get the picture (pun intended)!

    Ok. I think I was in the 3rd or 4th grade for this one.
    Someone else put the caption above the picture last year, and unfortunately this is the only pic I have from those years

    Hi Leela!

    Its a lovely idea. This is me when I was kid, its a cropped version of my favourite picture of my brother and me a few months after we moved to England 22 years ago. We're sitting in our new back garden.

    I agree. My 3 year old picture is much cuter than my butt.
