Our date

This blog is about the date that C and I went on. We finally got to go out Thursday night. But the story starts Wednesday night while putting the kids to bed.

After prayers, I left C's room to put K to bed. When I got back to C's room to tell him good-night, he and Daddy were whispering. When I asked what they were talking about, I was told it was a secret and I would find out on the date.

So now to Thursday night. After dinner we were getting ready to go and Daddy told C to come upstairs with him. I was still left in the dark. We left and I kept trying to find out what the secret was. I was told I would have to wait.

We first went to the library and picked out about 20 books. Then C picked to go to Wendy's to get ice cream. Finally as we were walking up to the door of Wendy's, he told me the secret. He had money and was going to pay for the ice cream. And he did. We ordered and he gave the lady the money and took the change (he thought he got to keep it-sorry bubby). So we sat down to eat. After a few bites, I decided I wanted fries too (I needed something salty with the sweet). So since he was in charge of the money for this date, I made him go up to the counter by himself, order, pay, and bring the fries back. I could see him the whole time (and the guy behind the counter saw me watching him and must have thought it was cute) and he was just a-grinning. It was so cute.

Needless to say, we had a good time. We just sat and talked in Wendy's. It was nice to spend time with just him. I was very proud of him for "paying"

The next day he was telling Papa on the phone that he paid, and Papa told him "Well that's what the guy is supposed to do on a date." And C's answer was "Well that's understanding."
