Leo is really into American football, specifically the Los Angeles Rams, his mum told me. Of course I knew nothing about them, so had to do some research! I learned that they compete in the National Football League and that their colours are white, blue and gold. I also recognised their name when I heard that they defeated the Cincinnati Bengals to win the 2022 Super Bowl! I am sure Leo was delighted.
I created an album cover showing Leo wearing an L.A. Rams jersey. It has the number 13 on it to mark his age. My cousin, his mum, since wrote to tell me that, by chance, he wore the number 13 for soccer this past season! I must have known 😉. Leo is holding a football (also called a pigskin), whose shape is officially called a prolate spheroid (an elongated sphere). He is wearing white gloves, which the players wear to help them carry and catch the ball more securely. I added the L.A. Rams logo in the background.
It seems that Leo's mum was delighted with the album. His mum wrote to me:
"First, I am truly blown away. You really hit it out if the park with the Rams. And, while 13 is for obvious reasons, he was 13 for soccer this past season! Thank you so much for this meaningful gift and for your lovely note... I just love it."
I hope that Leo's guests filled the album with some lovely messages when he was finally able to have his Bar Mitzvah party and that it will provide him with some wonderful memories in the years to come of a very special weekend.

Congratulations to Leo! Your album is such a wonderful keepsake for him.
A lovely book, I can see why he was delighted with it. I hope he gets lots of messages in it.
How thoughtful and clever of you. #MMBC
What a lovely book and how fortuitous that his # was 13 this year!
Beautiful job! I am sure he will have fun filling up the album!
Well done on another excellent album. He can have fun filling it and it will make the best keepsake. I've also learnt a new term - prolate spheroid, who knew?! xx
Amila I agree. Bar Mitzva aged boys can still dream about their own football fame, one day. Perfect gift.
That's a beautiful gift! You are so talented!
