his date with Chloe

The little ones hadn't seen each other in a while, and they were delighted to spend a little time together this afternoon. I relaxed my swine flu visiting ban for a day (and brought along and used a giant bottle of Germ-X on us all), and picked up Gran and met up with Allison and the Gallmans to spend an afternoon shopping. We all met up at Target where Dennis spotted Allison perusing the Halloween cards and announced "there's Allison--she's a good friend!". He spotted Chloe a bit later and screeched with delight, and after her inital shyness, he convinced her to give him a big hug in his stroller. They held hands on the way through the store with her walking beside his stroller. They had a romantic dinner of Happy Meals, sitting side by side in their high chairs. And though we didn't think anything of it at first, by the end of the afternoon, we all started noticing the hand holding and the high number of full body hugs exchanged. It was like a baby date! Just before we left Wal-Mart, our last stop of the evening, I saw Dennis lean forward and grab Chloe's stroller and bring it up to his. He leaned in and said "Come on baby, I show you." I don't know what that was about, but it sure sounded like a pint-sized pick up line to me!
