A Date with Mommy

Daniel has had a bit of a rough time adjusting since Nora's been born. I'm sure it's hard learning to share your mom and dad with another sibling and not being the center of attention anymore. So, I decided Daniel and I needed some special one-on-one time. I told Daniel that we were going on a date...just mommy and Daniel. First of all he thought the word "date" was funny. Then he looked a little confused and said "And Nora?" so I said "No, not Nora. Just mommy and Daniel!" You could just see the wheels turning in his head as he processed the idea. It was nice to have some time with just the two of us. Our date consisted of pizza (Daniel's request), cupcakes at a cool bakery called Crumbs and a trip to the library. It was perfect. What a sweet little guy I've got!

Mommy and Daniel: ready for our date.




Sweet kisses


Making funny faces.


Daniel LOVES pizza!


At Crumbs for cupcakes (Every kids dream!)



Yummm!

I love hearing parents going on dates with their children. Lets hope this helps daniel treating NOra a little sweeter.

I love this idea. We were good at it at the beginning, but have kind of let it slip. Definately something to start up again! And you'll have to tell me where that bakery is!!

You know how to have fun!

Tanner and I did at date night, and I am not sure what he expected, but I didn't quite reach the expectations. After going out to eat, playing in the playarea he loves at the mall, and getting frozen yogurt we got home and Skyler asked him "Did you go on a date with Mommy?" Tanner said "No we just went to the Mall."
