As I'm sure you all know by now, my little guy Liam isn't so little anymore. He's got a handsome new haircut and just turned 6. Last week we celebrated his birthday with a family outing to Chuck E. Cheese's, and a few days ago, Liam had his Star Wars birthday party with all of his classmates. Here are my pics and videos from Liam’s party . . .

Liam McDermott Graduates (Preschool)! Tori Spelling Takes a Look Back!

We're excited to bring you a new post from mother and actress Tori Spelling!

We're excited to bring you a new post from mother and actress Tori Spelling! Every other week, we're bringing you the best parenting and lifestyle advice from ediTORIal by Tori Spelling, which is Tori's daily blog about everything from food and fashion to parenting and relationships. This week, Tori shares her son's preschool graduation.

Friday was a very momentous occasion in our family. . . . Liam Aaron McDermott graduated from preschool! It was a proud mama bear's shining moment as my boy accepted his first diploma.

Liam started at his school when he was 18 months with a class called Toddler (mommy/daddy and me). After that he did three years of Pre-Kindergarten. And, on Friday, he graduated. Somewhere deep down I wanted to chant, "Liam McDermott graduates!"— à la Donna Martin — but kept it to myself.

My dapper man wore his seersucker suit and an M4L (Made for Liam) red polka-dot silk bow tie by Boutaugh. Liam chose the color palette all on his own, I might add. The school set up a nice stage for the graduates as well as a sea of folding chairs for the families in the school's rear yard. Everyone waited patiently when suddenly Dionne Warwick's "That's What Friends Are For" started playing, and then I saw my little man marching out in a line with his other pint-sized classmates and . . . cue the waterworks, which flowed abundantly and freely for the next hour.

They each walked on stage and promptly took the microphone to announce what they wanted to be when they grew up. Liam said, "When I grow up, I want to be a basketball player." It was adorable. Then they performed songs about growing up and moving on, and also sang a song in Spanish while wearing sombreros. Then, at the end, they played "Pomp and Circumstance" (this preschool graduation was no joke!) and announced each student's name to come accept their diploma. I waited patiently with a quivering lip. Then I heard it . . . "Liam McDermott."

Keep reading to watch Liam McDermott graduate and to read Tori's flashback to her eldest child's birth.

Who you gonna call for a Ghostbusters party?
Tori Spelling Throws Ghostbusters Party For Liam McDermott

Who you gonna call for a Ghostbusters party? Tori Spelling! The 90210 alum and mom of two threw her son Liam a fourth birthday party that easily could have been taken from the scenes of those featured on Outrageous Kid Parties. The Ghostbusters-themed afternoon included a giant slime cake, custom cookies, cake pops, and homemade proton packs for the guests to wear — complete with silly string to fight oncoming apparitions. According to LilSugar readers' favorite tweeting mom, the party was a success, with the guest of honor crashing after the festivities! Check out the mama's own pictures from the soiree.

Tori Spelling's Top 5 Potty Training Tips

It takes time and commitment to potty train your lil one, but whether you are in Hollywood or at home, it also helps to have a few tricks up your sleeve. Actress Tori Spelling is no different than the rest of us when it comes to this task. Intimidated by the process of training 23-month-old son, Liam, Spelling turned to the experts at Huggies Pull-Ups to help her with the task, including the Potty Dance, a nine-step dance to help encourage tots to use the potty. We caught up with Spelling at an event to introduce the dance (complete with a lit disco floor and DJ), and asked her about her top five tips for moms entering the potty-training arena.

Interview With Tori Spelling: Four lil Questions

A refrain of "Donna Martin graduates" will always run through my mind when I think about 90210 actress Tori Spelling.

A refrain of "Donna Martin graduates" will always run through my mind when I think about 90210 actress Tori Spelling. And while both she and her famous character may have faced a few obstacles in their lives, Spelling has certainly moved on. The down-to-earth mother of two — Liam, almost 2, and Stella, 8 months — continues to star in her reality series, Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, with husband Dean McDermott, recently signed on to do a few episodes of the new 90210 and is preparing to release her followup to her autobiography, called Mommywood.

We spoke with the mama about parenthood at a Huggies Pull-Ups event in New York yesterday.

Interview with Tori Spelling: She Talks Family Ties and 90210

Tori Spelling is a Mott's mama.

Tori Spelling is a Mott's mama. In addition to raising two children, the actress-turned-reality star-turned-author has teamed up with the apple juice and sauce company to create a downloadable playdate planner for mothers looking to simplify their kids' social calendars.

Best known for playing Donna Martin on her father's mega hit, Beverly Hills 90210, the star has strayed from her glitzy upbringing to create a down-to-earth foundation for her own party of five — husband, Dean McDermott, stepson, Jack, 9, son, Liam, 17-months and two-month-old daughter, Stella. While the media often focuses on the rift between the celeb and her mother, Candy — in conversation, it's clear that Tori's priority is to keep the communication lines open with her own children. Whether the 35-year-old is talking about Liam holding his lil sis for the first time, planning pirate playdates or suggesting her tot take Shiloh Jolie-Pitt as a girlfriend, it's evident that Tori is deeply committed to her kids.

Currently penning her second book, Mommywood, which hits shelves next Spring and waiting to see if Oxygen is going to pick up Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood for a fourth season, the celeb took time to chat with me about her latest endeavors. To see what she had to say about her family ties and any future on 90210, read more

I was convinced that Gwen Stefani would give birth over the weekend. But the weekend has come and gone without an announcement from the Rossdale camp, and sweet lil Kingston seems to still be waiting patiently. Still, we keep a watchful eye on other Tinseltown bumps and tots as they grow before our eyes. Jen and Violet played the hip holster game along with Katie and Suri. Daddy Matthew McConaughey crushed some waves while his lovely lady and baby Levi watched from the shore. Check out my slideshow to see what other celebabies did this weekend. Source and Flynet
