Joyce, Mark and others in “Baby Pictures”

Stanley, you were a magnificent baby. You were very cute, very cuddly, and your favorite food was mashed corn. [a photo shows baby Stanley with a bowl of mashed corn on his head]

It was also your favorite hat.

Oh, I remember how much I loved to feed you, to bathe you, to rock you to sleep in my arms...

And boy, did you love animals, Stanley. As soon as you started crawling, you were always making friends with cats, dogs, fish, you name it.

And then when you started walking and talking, it was always, "Take me to the zoo, take me to the zoo!"

Now, look how much you've grown. You can ride a two-wheeler, you go to school, you can even read.

You're not my little baby anymore [hugs Stanley] You've grown into a wonderful child, who will someday be a wonderful grown-up.

A... a grown-up?

Sure, Stanley. Before you know it, you and your brother will be all grown up and living on your own.
