If you were already swooning over this little heartthrob, just wait until you hear his name: IZO WOLFGANG OTA. I know, right?? This kid is destined for coolness. 

Izo's mama, Taurean, was my oldest daughter's very first babysitter and to this day I praise the sweet Lord above for plopping her into my life at that time! Suffice it to say, Olive was a "spirited" toddler, and thanks to Taurean, Olive survived those years and so did her mom (with help from wine). I have learned a lot about how to be a good mom from you, Taur! I can only emulate your incredible kindness and patience, even in the face of back-to-back stage 5 toddler meltdowns. You are a wonder.

And don't even get me started on Shogo! You'll never meet a nicer guy. He is generous and humble, an incredible artist (my words could not do justice to his work, so have a look for yourself at Tireman Studio), and an amazing dad, too. You can see it in little Izo's eyes-- he is just in love with his daddy!

Taurean and Shogo, I adore you. It is a gift to the world that you multiplied! Thank you for letting me into your snuggly little world, and also for letting me witness some sweet moments between baby Izo and his Baba Karen, too!! What a lucky boy to be surrounded in such love. 

Now it's my turn to babysit-- woohoo!! Congratulations, and so much love to you guys. :)
