So I completely missed February. Sorry.
Kirsten had to work on Presidents' Day so Ira and I hung out together. Here Ira is pretending to be pregnant.
Ira said, "Dadddy! I'm swimming in an ocean of balls!"
We spent a lot of time in the auditorium at the library, as you'll see. This is from the folk dance demonstration in honor of Chinese New Year.
Kirsten says this picture is supercute, and I have to agree.
Now that spring is here we'll start making our weekly trips to the zoo again. Ira showed us his balancing skills on the back of an alligator.
This picture is whatever is cuter than supercute.
Back to the library auditorium for the Nashville Ballet's Singing Tortoise. We saw the ballet at Belmont University a few weeks prior, and Ira liked it so much that Kirsten took him again when it came to the library.
Ira plays with the puppets in the children's section of the library. Ira and Kirsten have been spending lots of time at the library since they've been picking me up from work in the afternoon. It's nice that Ira feels so comfortable in and around the library.
The library is great at giving kids all sorts of wonderful, cultural exposure. Ira and Kirsten saw the Nashville Opera perform the Three Little Pigs set to the music of Mozart.
Ira decorated cupcakes for me on my birthday. They were almost as delicious as they were adorable.
Ira helped me blow out my candle.
And then we ate our cupcakes.
Now that we're in the middle of the toddler years, our life is one giant mood swing. Ira threw his cupcake across the kitchen and then cried when we wouldn't let him eat it.
Maybe we let Ira watch Cinderella a little too much. Actually, who cares, I think he makes a pretty, little princess.
At least he's not the only princess in his class.
