Leo turned twelve today. It's kind of hard to believe he's on the brink of becoming a teenager, yet here we are. With Tom in India, I knew it would be a mellow birthday but I still wanted it to be a fun one. That meant starting our day with a Starbucks run before school.
He had a full day of school but I picked him up a little early from study hall. We went out to dinner and came home to mini-bundt cakes. He insisted on lighting the candle himself.
Since he already received his birthday shoes, Leo wasn't expecting too many gifts. I got him some small things - a cool beanie, a book, a reusable Starbucks cup...but Tom and I couldn't resist getting him something else special.
Leo didn't love playing piano but it was a good foundation in music and I think he's going to really like guitar. I got him a lefty guitar book and I think he'll be able to enjoy messing around with it for a while before we get him formal lessons.
And no birthday post would be complete without some flashback photos of little Leo.
