i got an email from a friend last week. a friend that i've never met in person. we are friends through our computers :-) it REALLY does happen sometimes!
this is what she said, "i'm sending you a target gift card. to buy whatever you need to for your trip. BUT...with the money you save by doing that, i want you to take sawyer out on a date - just you and him." she has 5 kids and KNEW how much my heart was aching about leaving him. AWESOME gift, right??
so...we went on a little date after bailey got on the bus yesterday.
first, to the mall. to ride the train that rides through the mall. i don't think he's ever ridden it...and he LOVES to watch it go through the mall. i knew he'd love it. he did.
sorry for the horrible pictures. i just had my "little" camera.
i love how he's craning his neck...
AND how he had his hand on my knee :-)
we got lunch at chick fil a. and sat at the little tables in the food court (they have little tikes chairs...it's a big deal for me to 1)sit down and eat lunch and 2)to sit in those little chairs)
then we went to a big playground. it was about 1:30 pm and we were the only ones there!
we had a blast...i even went down a slide!
we made some food for each other.
he took this - not bad! :-)
and we raced back to the car...ready, set, GO!
last stop: monster cookie!!! yum!!!
it was such a sweet time together. i loved it. every moment. thanks for making it happen, becky! what a gift!

i just took my two year old boy (aka fourth child) on a date to the mall last night to eat at cfa, ride the train, and eat a cookie! so fun!
LOVED this precious time ~ now THAT will fill your heart with sweetness.
He is so adorable!!!
Glad you got to have that special time with him.
I still remember my special "date" with Christian right before McKenna was born. He doesn't remember it, but I do and I'm so thankful I made it happen.
