I added a child like this inside of a CCLayer:

[self addChild:object1];

Later on I want to remove that object from the children. Ummm so how do I do that? Thanks.

Your question leads me to believe you don’t know the cocos2d API reference:
http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/api-ref/

To remove object1 simply use this:

[self removeChild:object1 cleanup:YES];

If you don’t keep a reference of object1 around you can remove it by tag, which means you’ll have to give it a tag first:

object1.tag = 123; // just any arbitrary number
[self addChild:object1];

To remove it:

[self removeChildByTag:123 cleanup:YES];
