Rowan's preschool graduation.

In June, Rowan graduated pre-K. It was a very exciting day, given the great progress Rowan has made this year. He's far from perfect, but he's learning to control his emotions and with each day, he's growing and making better choices. He's leaps and bounds from where he started, and we are feeling optimistic that Kindergarten is going to be a big success!

Congratulations, sweetheart! We love you and are so proud of you!

a rare moment of silence.

on the way to the ENT. love him.

oh brooklyn, brooklyn, take me in.

Going out of order here (skipping almost a month forward!), we spent yesterday in Brooklyn for Rowan's birthday. His request. We had pizza at Grimaldi's, took a water taxi to Wall Street, walked across the Brooklyn Bridge back to Brooklyn, rode Jane's carousel, visited the toy store, got ice cream and headed home. It was a great day, not too hot because it was overcast, and just a lot of fun! Happy Birthday, Rowan!

special snowy day.

Today was rowan's special day at school, and for the fifth time in a row, it snowed on his special day. I mean, I would say what are the odds, but this winter? The odds are pretty good.

Rowan is getting so big. Watching him on the slide, it was a huge leap from where he was only a few months ago. He's taller. More in command of his movements. And just getting older. Exciting and of course, bittersweet.

 Here he is sitting under the slide, showing how the static electricity makes his hair stand up. Ironic, since he makes my hair stand up on a regular basis. Like, for example, when he locked me out of the house this afternoon while I was outside, and he went down to the basement.

In other news, last night we went out for pizza. Here are my cute guys as we waited for our pizza to arrive.

The sun is shining, the snow is melting. Hopefully spring is finally here? Happy monday, all! xo
