I’m not a baby!” whines Leo Leotardi, but his family won’t listen. Leo doesn’t want oatmeal, (“Poopie!” says Leo) he wants pancakes, like everyone else. But what the Leotardis don’t seem to notice is that, while Leo may be the baby of the family, he isn’t actually a baby anymore. His bonnet is getting too tight, his clothes are bursting at the seams, and he doesn’t need to sit in a high-chair. Will the poor boy have to go to college wearing booties?
