A date with “the Nate”……………………
Nate is 4, and a total romantic. He tells me at least once per day, “Mom I love you, I’ll love you forever (FOR-EBBER), even when you are dead I’ll love you.” So, it is really no surprise he wanted a date with his Mom. You know, not the usual help me with the laundry, pick up toys, grocery shop, a real date. So today we had a “REAL” date. We took Daddy’s convertible (a 2 seater), and left at 1:00.
We left, speeding down our street (well, as fast as I could safely drive). He wanted to know where we were headed, I said, “a new park, and then a movie w/ popcorn and a slushy.” He said, “wow Mom, this is going to be fancy.”
The park was delightful, I chased him around, and he was friends with everyone in 5 minutes flat.
The pictures you see are from our time at the park.
Then we headed to the movies, while waiting he had a lot of questions about life, the movie screen, what made me scared, how my surgery scar was healing etc. Before the movie started he asked for a booster seat, he needed this so he could put his arm around me, you know like Dad does.
I’ll leave you with my Nate poem.
There once was a boy named Nate, who was really, really great.
He had blonde hair, and blue, blue eyes.
We call him, Nate the great.
God is good, life is hard, I am blessed.
Xo,
Mom

How great that he's already learning how to treat ladies by how he sees your hubby treating you! The greatest gift you can give your kids is a loving relationship with your honey! :)
“wow Mom, this is going to be fancy.”
love it!
I was also going to say my favorite comment was "Wow, Mom, this is going to be fancy!" That is SO cute! And how he tells you he loves you every day, "forebber".... Great idea to take him on a date. I need to do that with my boys as well. I didn't know the movie theaters had booster seats, either. Good to know! :)
