If every child in the world was celebrated for their uniqueness and showered with true love this way the world would be a better place.

Happy Birthday Leo!!!

Leo you are blessed to have parents who get what's important in this world.

WOW!

but I was told it was to do with the armed forces. The charter defines a child as somebody under 18 years of age, and the US allows people to sign up at 16 (I think).

However, looking at your link to the unofficial summary, it only talks about children under 15 with reference to armed conflict (Article 38) so I'm probably wrong.

I made the cake, but my friend Elaine made the cupcakes -- can't take credit for those. :)

And the soot sprite cupcakes are a stroke of genius. :)

Delicious!

I love the idea that anything goes and no-holds-barred is the whole point of Leo's birthday. Clearly, it works well if those photos of his beautiful punim are evidence! :-) Here's wishing the happiest of birthday celebrations to all of you!

Best wishes to your whole family for this very special day. And I have to say, judging by the Totoro cake, it looks like Leo has excellent taste in movies.

Leo's Party

Well, Leo's Mother, we all know how good you are with the homemade party favors. Is it weird that I got all teared up when I looked at Leo's coloring book (again)?

And, my good sweet Lord, who made that birthday cake?

Love this post!

Rita,

Here are 3 posts I've already put on my blog on the subject. I'm adding them from my newspaper column a few at a time.

Now that my children are older, ages 9 and 13, there are some tricky challenges that accompany using all of this George Jetson technology. I recently told my kids that CD's did not exist when I was their age and I swear I think their heads exploded. I am looking forward to sharing some of my own tips and tricks as well as writing about the latest trends and news as it relates to parenting our kids in this age of uber information. www.parentopia.com/blog

Hi Rita

My first child is due at Christmas (I'm a blimp!) and this is something I've been thinking about a lot. I think my first six months at home is going to be very different to my mother's.

We don't own a TV, but have two laptops that are on pretty much the whole time we are home. I'm wondering how that will change, and if we'll feel the need to get a tv when we have an active toddler.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing everybody's stories!
