Last night Kelly had parent conferences, so Ian and I had a night to ourselves. Since I’m at work for most of the day, and we spend our weekends as a family, he and I don’t get much one-on-one time.
Yes, I ditched choir rehearsal. But choir is weekly; time alone with my son isn’t.
I don’t have any embarrassing anecdotes or poignant observations. We went to Applebee’s, ate macaroni n’ cheese and fries, colored, danced, and snuggled. He was well-behaved, I was patient and attentive. I had my son back, Ian had his father.
Afterward we went to the mall playground. We came home, I gave him a bath. We ate cookies and snuggled.
I can’t express how badly I needed last night.
Did you drench him with a bucket when you gave him a bath?? ;) ~B
Your final statement struck me as so sweet. I almost cried! Watching my son and husband together, I know that there are times when my husband just very badly needs connection time with his boy.
Hey, thanks for the comment. Man, I love the “daddy days” I get. I’m so busy throughout the week that I look so forward to just spending the weekend at home with my daughter.
