When Mommy is away...

..the boys have fun without me :(.

I like to tell myself that I'm kidding but maybe not! Wednesday evening I had a work dinner that I didn't get back until really late (AJ was already in bed and I was really sad). Daddy and AJ had a date night. We seem to have one-on-one dates with AJ every so often and AJ loves it. When John had to be somewhere one time, AJ took me out to dinner (he even said he had monies to pay for it--I'm raising a gentlemen! Of course I gave him my debit card to give to the waiter :)). AJ loved taking mommy out on a date and even told the waiter we were on a date. It was precious. Another time we went to Starbucks on a Saturday morning for muffins and something fun and non-caffinated for AJ and something to keep mommy awake.

So Wednesday night John had a whole night planned for the two of them. He started with a haircut immediately after he picked him up. Here is AJ during the haircut, below. John said all of the ladies at the barber shop loved AJ because they speak about the same amount of English. John cracks me up.

Afterwards John was going to take him to see Ju Jitsu practice but had to feed the monster first. He realized it isn't so easy to tote around a toddler who is always hungry. He made dinner and of course AJ takes FOOORRREEVVEEERR to eat so they missed practice. By the time he cleaned up (John even managed to clean up!), it was bedtime. I think John realized how much time it takes to do simple things for the first time. I'm usually there to dictate our schedule, and John was on his own. He is on his own sometimes, but it was different this time.

All in all, they still had a great boys night! AJ told me the next day that it was 'Guys Night Out' and 'No girls Allowed, mommy!'. I think he enjoyed himself to say the least!

I hope we can continue the date nights with #2's arrival!
