Calendar Cutie

Who’s that peeping out of the playhouse? My gorgeous boy, who’s about to become 7 tomorrow. Many of you have known him since he was 4, others even longer. I love this photo, it reminds me of a happy morning playing at our friend Jo’s. It reminds me of summer and how quickly seasons turn and your little boy is no longer so little anymore. Happy birthday, Ezra!

Send in your favourite photos of your babes (ages 5 and under) for a chance to be our next Calendar Cutie and be entered into a prize draw! Email photos and a short description to editor@babesabouttown.com
