A Hot Date

I had a very special date with my favorite 4 year old. This 'date' just fell into my lap earlier in the week and I am so glad that I jumped at the chance (Thanks, Nonna). Although, Hayden did tell me that I should have "had a better plan" because he was "going to be up very late on a school night."

But even with that in mimd, we still went. We got all dressed up in our 'church clothes' and went out to see a show.

What show did we see? Well, we got the opportunity to see Disney on Ice. Lets just say that Disney doesn't do things half ass'd. I, myself, really enjoyed the show and I am pretty sure that Hayden enjoyed it too because his little 4 year old full of energy boy butt never moved from the seat. That alone was worth every penny for the tickets.


He was memorized by the show and I know that he really did loved every minute even though the answer to the question, 'What was your favorite part?' was "I liked the ending best because then it was over and we got go home."

But I am pretty sure that was the answer because he was just tired because not 10 minutes after we were home, he looked like this.


All in all, this was a really special night for me. I loved being able to spend some one on one time with Hayden. He is such a neat little person. I really enjoy seeing the world through his eyes.

So Thanks Hayden for staying up extra late on a school night and spending some time with your dear old mom. You made my heart happy.

How beautiful! I think its great that you git to go on a date!
I once took CC to the cinemas. It was also really fun... the trouble is there is hardly ever anything appropriate on at the cinemas for his age!
I will look out for Disney on Ice when it comes back to Oz :) (so long as its not High School Musical *pukes*)

What a little cutie! It does look fun!

I think it's great that you're spending some alone time with your kids as individuals. I know it's hard but I think it's well worth the effort.

And Disney on Ice does put on a good show :)

What fun! You look so great in that picture, too! My grandparents took us to see the Icecapades every year when I was little and it is one of my favorite childhood memories. I am sure this will be for Hayden.

That is so sweet. I've always wanted to see Disney on Ice. And getting a date with your oldest boy I'm sure is a special treat for both of you!

Awwwww! Makes me wish I had a son to go on a special date with!

Yay for having some fun one-on-one time with your little guy!

Brandy said...

Date night with the boy is sooo sweet! I'm sure it was worth staying up past his bedtime.

Unknown said...

Disney shows are awesome! It looks like he enjoyed his show as much as Maggie enjoyed hers!

Michelle said...

Man, your a great date! Love the picture of Hayden sleeping. I could never get away with that any more as I think my girls sleep with one eye open just in case I'm looking for blog shots.

Oh that was so very special!

Heather of the EO said...

Oh how I love it. So fun! And it knocked him right out, which is always good icing on the cake. :)

Susie said...

That is so great! What a great memory you made:-)

Julie said...

Awww...how fun! I would love to have some one-on-one time with Trevor. It seems right now everyone is willing to take him and not Tyler. They all use the fact that I'm nursing him as an excuse. I'm not buying it...

Michelle said...

Ya gotta cherish a kid that loves sleep! So sweet!

Unknown said...

What a fun date with a handsome young man!

Ash said...

Oh what a great story! And date. It is amazing, when you do finally get some one-on-one time - all I think is, "how did you get so big?!"

They are wonderful little creatures.

Rhea said...

I'm glad you were able to spend time with your little man. What a fun date!

jori-o said...

Awww...he's so SLEEPY! Kiddates are the best.

Jenn said...

Looks like SO MUCH FUN!

Jenners said...

This was so sweet! I love it! You had the cutest date in the whole arena! I'm sure he thought spending special time with mom was the best thing in the world! And I love that he was totally asleep within seconds of getting home! : )

I'm so happy you were able to spend that kind of time with your little man. I saw Disney on Ice not too long ago and it was a great show!!!!! He's a sweetie sleeping.

Zip n Tizzy said...

This was so touching. I love how he's sleeping with the beast at his side.
How nice for you both to get away together. My husband and I have talked about how important it is for us to do that with our two boys, but since he's so good about sharing you with 3 babies, he, and you both really deserved this night!

Night Owl Mama said...

Were just talking about that show today and taking our boys. Looks like it wiped your little guy out. SO much fun.
