After being totally adorable for me and Daddy all day, Dennis spent his evening with Gran and Pop while Mommy and Daddy went bowling with some friends. He was apparently very well behaved. They took him out to eat at the Mexican restaurant with his cousins Laine and Emily and his Aunt Larissa and Grandma & Bob. He took over the bowl of cheese dip, insisting on dipping his own chips and filling the dip bowl with chips. He even dipped his pacifier in the cheese dip!
He shopped at Wal-Mart and then went back to their house, where he had a book read to him before going to sleep. He woke up minutes before we got there to pick him up, which was convenient for us, and then went to sleep the minute we put him down in his crib. What a sweetie!
I usually miss him dreadfully when we're away from him, and I admit to often thinking of him, but I tried to keep my conversation away from the topic of the babies tonight. We were having grown-up (or at least teen-aged) fun tonight with our friends, and it was admitted a relief not having to be somewhere that wasn't baby friendly and constantly worrying about what he was getting into. I knew he was in good hands, and I knew he'd have fun with his Gran and Pop. Plus, I know that tomorrow we're taking him to a pumpkin patch and it will all about him there (him & Chloe, anyway). And we'll all have family fun together. But it was nice to be on a date again. It's been a long time.
I snapped this pic earlier (with my cell phone, which explains the bad quality) when he was playing in the playroom at Gran & Pop's place.
