Day with Mom

Today I jumped at the rare chance for a day off and had a day with Iris, one of our last as just us! We went to the MN Zoo with friends. I thought of course Iris would nap afterward as there was a lot of walking, especially for her since I forgot the stroller...but no. While other mothers of toddlers pushed their strollers to the exit toting sleeping children, this mother had to carry her child to the car so we could actually get to the car because Iris was not interested in leaving the zoo. And instead of falling asleep the second the car began moving like Anna did, Iris talked the entire way home. I think naps are done at our house. :( She's still talking actually while she is supposed to be taking a pretend nap on the couch...

UNAVAILABLE!

Sorry Single Ladies: The Twin Cities' Most Eligible Bachelor is now OFF THE MARKET!! Uncle Jeff has been snatched up by a lovely person named Debbie. We were able to meet her tonight and we all say "WE APPROVE!" We are very happy Jeff is happy.

OK: and not to take away from the above HUGE NEWS but I must update the Letter Game. Here are the remaining letters:

Little Gymnast!

We are having so much fun taking a tumbling class at Little Gym. I am starting to slow down now so it is difficult to keep up with a running, bouncing, swinging toddler (parents are expected to participate!) but its been a great Saturday morning activity. Iris is usually the first to volunteer to "demonstrate" new activities and the last one to leave the gym.
