Happy Birthday, Christopher Robin!


On this day eighty-seven years ago today...

Daphne Milne and A.A. Milne welcome to the world their newborn son:

Christopher Robin Milne...

The "real" Christopher Robin, that is. He will go on to be forever immortalized in the children books that his father writes about a silly, ole' stuffed bear named Winnie the Pooh. He lived a full life as a husband, father and writer like his father before him, until passing from this world on April 20, 1996.

Somewhere right now in the Hundred Acre Woods candles on a cake are being blown out...
