Date Night with My Boy!

The Saturday before Mother's Day was a very important day at the Horton house.  Well, at least for me it was a very important day - that evening Colin and I went on our first 'date'!  This might sound weird to some but I can't think of what else to call it.  Anytime we get a babysitter it's always because mommy and daddy are going on a date to spend time together so when I told Colin that he was going on a date with mommy he was over the moon excited (so was I)!

Our Chick-fil-A hosted a Mother Son Date Knight...I went online and got the last reservation (how cute is that?).  We made sure to take a picture before we left...I know that I am a huge dork but I didn't want to forget this important event.

I know I am bias but seriously, how handsome is this kid?  I told him that when you go on a date it is important to look nice so we picked out a special outfit for him to wear.  Then he asked Daddy to fix his 'nice hair'.  :) 

When we arrived they escorted us to our special table. : ) We had a waiter come take our order (he offered us a menu but we didn't need one, ha!).

They even had a little conversation starter at the mom's place setting talking about knights and bravery, etc. We talked about superheroes instead. :) Guess who started that conversation?

He was the sweetest boy and I loved getting to spend some time alone with him. The whole thing lasted about 45 minutes I think which was just long enough to keep his attention. 

Of course the ice cream bar at the end of the meal didn't hurt either.  He wanted every topping available on his ice cream.  He is a smart kid.  After we paid for our dinner (remember it was waiter service this night!) they brought over a sword for me to give Colin and they gave him a rose to give to Momma.  We were both pretty happy with our party favors, ha.

My goal is to make this a regular thing for the two of us (and eventually for Davis too).  I am already thinking of other ideas for our date nights in the future!  I love my boy to infinity and beyond (and I am pretty sure he feels the same way too.).  :)
