Our first Mother's Day was kind of a mix of emotions. While I was thrilled to to be able to celebrate as a mom for the first time, the day was our last one before J goes back to work. :(
Since J's birthday is May 9 (the day before Mom's Day this year), we went for dinner on Saturday night. We brought Ike and he was an angel. He only woke up once and was his usual adorable self. We were going to get ice cream on the way home, but Ike was a bit fussy. However, when I was changing Ike's diaper and getting him ready for bed around 8:15, I heard the faint sound of an ice cream truck on our street. It was particularly amusing to me because J and I recently spoke of the lack of ice cream trucks around these days.
We were both in our pajamas, but I told J to go and get some anyway. I figured it was some kind of sign. It was his birthday, he's a new dad, etc. When he hesitated, I went to hand him Ike and go myself. When J seemed okay with this, I said "Really? I don't even have a bra on!"
We looked outside and we saw that the truck had stopped for some of our neighbors. J quickly put on some shorts, grabbed his wallet, and went to join the line at the truck. I followed, with a camera and Ike in his post-bath towel. (see photo below)
A cookies and cream drumstick ice cream cone was $2! But I think it was worth it!
