Saturday night Seth took Talia and I took Benjamin on "dates." We have been wanting to do this for awhile, but had just never gotten it scheduled. I helped Talia "get pretty" while Seth briefed Benj on his manly responsibilities (take care of Mama, hold her hand and give her lots of hugs and kisses).
Here's a snippet from Seth about their experience (I stole this from an email he wrote):
[It] is ... awesome to take your 2-year-old daughter on a date to get a Wendy's frosty and then to the pet store to see some animals. "Want to see pish ... Da bird say, 'Tweet, tweet, tweet.' ... Hi, kitty." It just melts a father's heart.
Benj & I went to the mall where we got a dairy-free banana berry smoothie at DQ (I gave Benj the money to pay. He was so proud of himself!) We settled down to drink it on a comfy chair close to his favorite attraction at the mall: the "jumpers." (A bungee-jumping-type place where they harness you to a huge structure and you can jump to ridiculous heights.) After we finished our smoothie we looked for a fun store to go into. Benj picked Hallmark (?) where we found some pretty fun animated stuffed animals to play with. He especially loved the little "jitter" bunnies--you pull their tail and they jitter across the floor. His favorite game was making his bunny & my bunny crash. :)
What fun memories!
