I got to spend some much-needed one-on-one time with Zeke yesterday. My parents had offered to keep the baby for a couple of nights, and since DH was headed to Indiana for a couple of days, it was just going to be the two of us.
I must admit I tend to spoil him a little at times like these, especially now that his little brother needs so much more attention. So after picking him up from the daycare, we stopped by McDonald's for dinner and some time in the play place. While I sipped my caramel iced coffee (I hadn't yet digested my lunch from Pete's Sushi and Thai Restaurant for my mum's birthday) and worked the crossword puzzle from The City Paper, Zeke crawled and climbed and ran around with his newly made friends. He had a great time--we both did--and he was so tired afterwards that it only took a couple of minutes to fall asleep after bedtime stories and lights out!
The key here is energy expenditure. Keep that in mind, folks!
The plan for today is a good, home-cooked meal (I think lasagna is on the menu), a movie rental (I agreed to stop and pick up Scooby Doo from the Red Box today), and popcorn in the living room. We may even invite some of his stuffed animals to join us for the group discount. *grin*
I think we both needed a break and time to reconnect. Besides, they're only young once. Better enjoy it while you can!
