Paulo in le•top Walking with Dinosaurs long-sleeved shirt and overalls. So proud to be standing on his own!
It was just a regular morning. My husband and I woke up and got the kids ready. Usually we each take a child and get him/her dressed. Then while Miranda puts her shoes on, we place Paulo in the crib so that we can get ourselves dressed. It was the usual morning routine. But this particular morning, we heard Miranda yelling, “Mom, Dad, come here!!!” We thought perhaps Paulo had hurt himself or that she saw an insect in her bathroom, so we both rushed out of our bedroom and followed the sound of her voice.
“He’s standing! He’s standing! Paulo is standing!” Oh, my! I thought crawling at 5 months was early, but standing at 6 months?! At this rate he’ll be walking at 7 months!

Lilah in le•top Kaleidoscope pants and pink top at one of our recent park outings
I realized last night that my daughter and I would be changing our ‘after school’ routine of the past months. I normally pick up my daughter at daycare after work and head for the park to give the swings a little workout before heading home. When I picked Lilah up around 6 pm last night she exclaimed ‘It’s dark!’ Indeed it was. I had promised the park when I dropped her off at school, forgetting that the time had changed. I could not keep my promise, since the park is not open after dark. Luckily she understood that going to the park in the dark would not be much fun, and seemed to want to head towards our comfortable house as much as I did!
I love this time of year. It makes me want to put some cider on the stove and snuggle up with my little girl and read a book. Granted that is not what usually happens, since preparing dinner and doing the usual chores beckon. Hopefully we can fit some of these cozy moments into our routine – bringing a different reward than the sunny days of swinging and climbing on the play structures. “Once upon a time…”

No, I did NOT say that!
My friend, Jessica’s daughter figured out how to take photos with her iPhone. As Jessica scrolled through her phone’s photos, she found pictures of EVERYTHING going on in their house: Her daughter’s bedroom, the play room, home decorations, and and yes… a VERY candid shot of Jessica nursing her newborn baby. She tried to delete the photo but her daughter ran off with her phone saying,
Mommy, don’t worry. There’s NOOOOO nipple in the shot!”

Uh-Oh! Here we go again…but it’s only puppy love! We were all reminded of the soft spot we hold in our hearts for puppies when Calvin, a longtime member of our terrific warehouse staff brought in his new Pekinese-Chihuahua puppy Lucy to ‘meet the family!’ Lucy has brought smiles of joy to the office over the past few days – her little bark beckons us, and we pick her up before that sad little bark tears our hearts apart! She is just so darn cute!
- Calvin and little Lucy
This little girl has a big presence, although I am not quite sure she knows her real size. Cengx’s dog Charmie (the little Pomeranian that has shown off his le•top ‘couture’ outfits in the blog) towers over Lucy – but backs away from her playful paws when she invites him to play. Lucy then proceeds to chase poor Charmie around the warehouse – totally in charge of this game. Awww…puppy love!

Happy Halloween from the le•top kids (at heart)

I’m sure many of you have wondered just how le•top manages to create kid’s clothes that are ‘super’ – and here is the answer…our very own Wonder Woman – Sylvia!
Sylvia, shown here in her Wonder Woman persona, is our EDI computer specialist – and makes orders ‘magically’ move through the system. Shown with Sylvia is her ‘super daughter’ Melissa! Melissa, who has grown up in front of our very eyes, and is ‘super cute’ is shown with her favorite ‘look-alike’ doll, as a very scary pirate, as beautiful Jasmine from Aladdin’s magic lamp and as Little Bo Peep searching for her sheep.
Happy Halloween from Sylvia’s Super Family!

No, I did NOT say that!
Mommy, in a few minutes I’m going to have a tantrum because Daddy cooked fish for dinner. And you know that I don’t like fish for dinner.”

Supermodel Heidi Klum and her singer husband Seal have welcomed a new baby girl to their family. The new member of their expanding household was named Lou Sulola Samuel. The couple already have three other children; Johan 2 ½, Henry 4, and Leni 5. The very happy new dad released a charming statement:
“It’s difficult to imagine loving another child as much as you love your existing children,” Seal writes. “Anyone who has a family will tell you this. Where will one find that extra love? If you love your existing children with all of your heart, how then can one possibly find more heart with which to love another?”. “On Friday, Oct. 9, 2009, at 7:46 p.m., the answer to this question came in the form of our fourth child and second daughter,” he continues. “Lou Sulola Samuel was born, and from the moment she looked into both of our eyes, it was endless love at first sight. She is beautiful beyond words and we are happy that she chose us to watch her grow over the coming years.”
Everyone at le•top sends their congratulations to these loving parents!
