Spring piano recital

This afternoon Sofia had her second piano recital. This time around she seemed a lot more at ease than she did the last time, and she did a great job playing Take me out to the ball game. We were all proud of her.

Trenzas

For her recital, Sofia told me that she wanted curly hair. I didn't want to take a curling iron to hear hair, so I decided to try our luck with a bunch of mini braids the night before. It wasn't perfect, but for the most part it worked!

My bugambilia

My bugambilia spent the entire winter inside, but is now outside trying to make a comeback.

All about me

The Dance

Tonight I did not go to Father Daughter dance for … well … pretty obvious reasons. They did have many moms volunteering [after all what decent dance could possibly be organized without them] but Lionel preferred not to have me there, also for obvious reasons. If I was there, it was likely that the girls would want to be with me instead of him.

For what he tells me the girls had a great time … just not necessarily sticking around with him. It appears that all the girls were running around with their friends, leaving the Dads behind. So Lionel joined the ranks of Dads sitting around waiting for them to come back ... or chasing them around. But he did manage to get at least one dance out of Sofia, and had an interesting time people watching and occasionally talking to couple of the other dads.

Road kill

Tonight I killed what I believe was a big fat rat on my drive back home. Giving that this is earth week that particularly sucked.

Love song

Today I've been wondering what it must feel like to have somebody adore you so much, that they write you a love song. It must be very flattering if you love them back ... and maybe kind of creepy if you do not.
