It's a good thing you're cute




Whatever he dishes out, I can take it. I'm afraid I've been blogging and facebook status-ing about too many negative things. The honest truth is that most of this parenting thing is smooth sailing. It's when the waters get rough that it feels like it never ends. Just check out this cute smile. He was having an excellent day at the aquarium. More photos coming later on, as well as an awesome story about Ira's bad dream.

Ira says...




Hey, it's not so bad around here. We had a rough week a while back when Ira's hitting phase resurfaced, but I think things are better now. Check out this picture of us in outer space! Ira knows how to build really cool rockets out of Legos and so we decided to check out the moon for a while.

Here's some funny things he's told me lately.

Ira: What does a computer say, mama?
Me: A computer can say whatever we want it to say.
Ira: A computer says, "Beep! I take yours chairs!"

So, to Ira, computers are basically jerks.

Ira: My scab gone, mama!
Me: It is? Where did it go?
Ira: He flew away, a find his scab dad.

Scab dad, eww.
----
Us: Did you have a bad dream last night?
Ira: Yeah....it's dark. My dream, it's dark. There's a fly standing on my bed. Yeah....I so scared!

This one was more about the tone and hand gestures. I wish we had a video camera.

Ira: Where, where rocket, rocket (singing).
Me: What's that song?
Ira: Liam sing that song.
Me: Liam sings "where, where rocket, rocket?"
Ira: Yeah...
Me: Oh! Does Liam sing "we will, we will rock you, rock you?"
Ira: (smiles huge) YEAH!

The neighbor kid is teaching my son Queen songs!

We're busy this week, planning for a packed weekend. It should be fun and lots of pictures to show for it.
