Great first birthday project

Matt over at dearspike.com told me about a project he started to celebrate the upcoming first birthday of his daughter "Spike". I thought ... what a wonderful idea so I decided to re-blog it here with his kind permission.

It's great to get an overview of ideas for the first birthday - as the one for my son is approaching as well. It seems just impossible that I've been a dad now for nearly a year. You look from one day to the next - managing all the small and big crises and before you know it ... a year has passed. *sigh*

Anyway - here it goes:

Dear Spike's Friends:

Spike's first birthday will be here soon. All fretting aside about WHERE THE HELL THE PAST 10 MONTHS WENT, I would like to enlist your help in putting together THE GREATEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT OF ALL TIME.

No, it's not a pony.
