Before Liam came on the scene we spent a lot of time doing what childless people do - nothingness. You know...self-indulgent pastimes that had no time limit. Oh, those were the days I tell you. Nowadays, we can't leave the house unless we prep for an hour, pack house and land, and hope we make it back before naptime. So on Monday, Lee and I decided to take a day off and designate it Date Day! Recreating the good ole days just being with eachother talking, laughing, cussing him out about how he drives...oh wait, that still happens. So we dropped Liam off at daycare and hit the high road. Full of energy after a quick stop at Starbucks, bright eyed and full of adventurous wonder. First stop - Barnes & Noble! It might sound lame but Lee & I love nothing more but to gather books and magazines, find a quiet spot and just leaf through them for hours or until we got hungry which was the case on Monday. We had an amazing lunch on Park Ave. at a new (to us) Italian restaurant. We walked around a little to try and work off the pasta but didn't get far in the heat! We went to a local, natural soap shop but they were closed. That was a bummer because I really wanted to see what they had. That's when I started to miss my baby. I can't explain it but there's a pull inside me when I'm gone from Liam for too long so we decided to swing by and get him and celebrate the rest of date day as a family. We went shopping at Waterford Lakes, stopped for ice cream and by then it was getting dark. It was a great, great day. I told Lee we should do this more often to give us a time to reconnect and relive our glory days!
