Companies like Libby Lu have make-over parties, Build-A-Bear stores have private party rooms and there's even a museum that allows kids to dissect sheep's eyeballs. It can cost from $500 to $1,000 to hold a party at one of these venues - or $38,000 if you want to rent out famed toy store FAO Schwartz for a sleepover...
...nearly six-foot, and with a voice his mother says is much deeper than she remembers, Shawn has grown far beyond the little boy whose picture was broadcast relentlessly during the early months of his disappearance. But while he has grown up, he hasn't kept up with other kids his age - at least not academically, given that he did not attend school of any type while living with Devlin.
