Date Night

We've made it a goal to take a child out on a special night once a month.  This month Joel went out with Little Lady, and I went out with Little Man.

Little Lady wanted to go to Half Price Books and then Cold Stone for dessert.  She and Daddy came home raving about a new flavor of ice cream, and she was thrilled with her book selection.  Little Man wanted to go out to dinner and then go to Barnes & Noble.  We went to a Ramen house that was delicious, and then he had a leftover gift card from his birthday that he was excited to spend.

 We went back to the Teen/Young Reader section and he was less than enthused.  He said, "Mom, where's the nonfiction and science sections?"  Of course, he chose two encyclopedias!  I love how voracious his appetite is for learning.  I've never met anyone who enjoys gaining knowledge as much as this kid. 

He was rather brilliant in realizing there was also dessert available at Barnes & Noble.  He took full advantage.  My Hershey baby chose the Hershey chocolate cheesecake.  He was so happy, and I loved spending time with him!

 He told me I would see him in a couple of days when he had finished reading his new books.
