First Birthday Party at Joe Sherron Park

Dear Zeon,
Your first birthday party was a success! Your grand uncle and aunt brought the tables and chairs late, but other than that snafoo we did well. Your father complained that the menu was disorganized but everyone ate well off of churassco, burgers, hotdaogs and chicken. We had rice and fruit salad as well. The cake was delicious from don pan. The highlight of the day was the clown Yami. She was hilarious! She actually got your grumpy old grandpa to participate in the fun with your cousin damian. We took a picture of it. She had a heavy spanish accent and kept asking everybody with a frown if they wanted a kiss to cheer them up, "Doo ju vant a kizz?" it was so funny. You behaved beautifully. A perfect prince. By the end of the day you were in your diapers it was so hot. I love you . Love, mommy

Happy First Birthday Zeon!

Dear Zeon,
Happy Birthday baby! You made it, the first BIG DAY! Your day and you have been the perfect child thus far. You are my everything. Born on the day Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died, you brought new life and talent into the world while theirs faded away. We celebrated your cousin's Karoline's birthday at Bird Bowl yesterday. It was a hoot. You played around with little Leah, all but two years old. Your little cousin by your titi and godmother will be here on July 6,20101 via c-section. Your godparents still do not know what they will be naming her! It makes me want to scream sometimes, how fustrating that is. Ah well, what can I do but be patient like I was the day you were born, one year ago today at 7:14 am. My little angel, you.
I love you.
Happy Birthday to my little prince.
Love,
Mommy

Cartoons

Dear Zeon,
You are not even a year old and the love affair with cartoons has already begun. You become completely transfixed by the likes of Curious George, sesame Street, particularly Elmo, Mickey Mouse and Sid the Science Kid to name a few. Before you discovered these characters, I was your world. I've been replaced by a drawing that talks.
They were not kidding when they called it an electronic babysitter. You even try to talk back to them you poor dear! As much as I am tempted by it, I refuse to get cable. I'd rather you go run outside and use your own imagination. That is what I had to do before my parents got cable for our home. Worst thing they ever did! We got so fat just sitting there allowing whatever smut came on the screen to corrupt our impressionable minds. I hope you do better than I did.
Love,
Mommy
