Personalized gifts

I love them, even though they may put kids at higher risk for kidnapping by strangers (I read a report about it once).

Regardless, I love my baby boy's name and want to plaster it everywhere.

A book that Aunt Kseniya gave to Desmond

A little knapsack that Desmond's Uncle Andrew and Aunt Stephanie sent him.  Adorable, eh?

On my parent to-do list: teach Desmond to say "no" to strangers who approach him and call him by name.
