a date night

Dennis and I went for a long (4 mile) walk this morning in our neighborhood. It's hard to walk at a fast pace while singing happy birthday to random objects that he thinks up and asks me to sing about. I had to sing happy birthday to the yellow car, the red truck, numerous Thomas engines, the black mailbox, the white mailbox, the black horse, the white horse, the yellow flowers, the pink flowers... I lost count of how many things Dennis thought of and said "happy birthday red truck (substitute other items here)" and kept repeating the phrase until I sang the song.

Tonight he's at Gran's and Pop's house while we are on our way home from a movie and dinner--we'll be picking up a sleepy little guy pretty soon! His Gran says he's been asleep a while now. This is our third date without Dennis, and we had a very nice night. We highly recommend the new Star Trek movie!
