The Mama Date

Ale has been great since Yeva's birth. Only recently has he started 'acting up' at times. It could be the age or it could be the fact that he shares the spotlight with his little sister now. While it hasn't been difficult having another little one, Ale and I obviously don't have the time we used to together. I've been feeling that I've been needing to spend a little one on one intentional time with him lately. So we took off this afternoon for what I hope will be the first of many mama dates.

He fell asleep before we got anywhere! Of course he is very selective about his naps these days so the combination of no nap, hot chocolate and a lulling car ride put him right to sleep.

We were just going to go to the park per his request but I though it might be fun to do something a little out of the ordinary just this once. We've been walking up to the stables by our house recently to watch the horses so I thought I'd see if he wanted to try riding a horse. We went to the pony rides at Griffith Park.
He loved it and started to cry when it was over. I think next time I'll put him on the *real* horse ride next to this one.
First time with cotton candy after the pony ride then on to the grocery store and home for dinner.
I love my little boy.........
