monday at the madhouse // teeth and a haircut

This was a bit of a hard week for the boy. He cut his very first tooth (a top one!) and because of that, his appetite was off (which makes him cranky) and he had to get a "real" haircut by a stranger and he had to dress up in a shark costume (which you would think might be fun, but took some serious coaxing).But! He also had some fun. He had his first ride down a slide (which he loved) and he got to eat lots of sauerkraut (which he loves) and he moved into the toddler room at school with the big kids and got to nap on a cot (which he did really well at). Plus, unsurprisingly, he rocked it at school picture day.Photos from the week are below. I'm gonna warn you, those haircut photos are tough. They make me tear up a bit! The weather was lovely and Magda and I spent lots of time outdoors this week. Ezra's having to model for a business thing I'm about to announce. This was one of about 4 of 5,000 where he wasn't crying. Dressing up is hard.Sunday, we went to the park for a picnic. Here he is playing in the fountain -- he loved that part.Same picnic -- just running around with Dad and Magda.The kid has gotten really good at communicating what he wants even though he can't talk. Like, crawling back into the stroller and curling up for a nap? Ok. I guess it's time to head back home now.I love this.
