Chinese Bears Are Called Pandas

So... a few weeks ago, my two-year-old daughter, Reina, was dressed in a sleeper that was white with black dots and made her look like a dalmatian. I told my 11-year-old-son, Rico, that she looks like a Chinese dalmatian, and that we could put her in her jacket and make her look like a Chinese bear (the jacket is tan and the hood has "ears" so it gives the appearance of a bear). Rico looked at me strangely (as he always does), and in an obvious-sort-of-tone, said to me:
"Mom, they're called pandas."

Oh-kay. So he has a point. But Reina could still look like a Chinese bear because she has the eyes for it =)

We have two birthday parties coming up (one tomorrow and the next week) for our friend's children who are turning 1. Instead of making two separate cards with totally different designs, I made two of the same, one for a boy, and one for a girl.

Here's the one for Tristan whose first birthday is tomorrow:
