date night with my little man

Friday night, Cayden and Mommy had date night.  We went to go see Disney on Ice and I honestly don't know who was more excited about it, Mommy or Cayden.  He was really excited to get to see Mickey and Goofy and the gang and I couldn't wait to see his reaction to the show.  As we were driving to the civic center and I was telling him all about how glad I was that he wanted to go somewhere special with me and what all we were going to see, he stopped to ask me "where's Harper?"  I didn't know if he was thinking that she should be coming along or if he just hasn't been alone in the vehicle without her for so long but either way, he made me smile and he seemed fine with my answer that she was too little and that it was just a night for Cayden and Mommy to have time together. 

Anyone who has taken their child/children to the circus, a show, anywhere really, knows that there are always bright, expensive souvenirs strategically placed right near your seat.  As a result of this clever marketing, Cayden went home with a light up spinning thing (really not sure how else to describe it), a character cup of Stitch with a few remnants of the snow cone that was in it and a tummy full of popcorn.  However, seeing his face light up when he first saw each of the characters come out and watching his concentration during the whole thing was amazing and I can't think of a better way to have spent my Friday night.

Greetings from Disney on Ice!
