Two Dates

We have had a great weekend. Friday night Eric surprised me with arranging childcare and taking me out to eat! It was fun to get out just the two of us, especially after a long week. Then Saturday afternoon Everett and I went on a "mama-son" date. We haven't done this in so long. Everett loves going to Lake Julian or "duck park" as he calls it. He had fun walking around on the dock. There are several things I want to remember about our afternoon including:
-Everett discovering a dead fish on the dock and proclaiming, "Ew! Gross!"
-Everett discovering a spider web and asking me, "Mama, Itsy Bitsy Spider?"

-Everett chasing butterflies with a group of little boys. He is becoming more and more comfortable around other children and this thrills me.

-Gazing at ducks and saying, "quack quack!"

We then went and had ice-cream for dinner. This will become a fun summer tradition. Everett was so excited!

Other moments I don't want to forget:

-Everett responding with "Buddy" when a man in the pet store we visited asked him his name.

-Everett deciding to break out in spontanous dancing. He is a crowd pleaser. As his mama, I love it when others comment on how cute he is. I eat it up.

-Everett croutching down to look at a water drain and telling everyone that passed by that "water down there."

Another fun weekend with my guys. I look forward to a date with Hampton soon!
