A Mother/Daughter Date.

I don’t go out with just one of my children at a time very often.

Life is busy, time is short, and my husband has to be able to be home at the same time to watch the other kids, or visa-versa.

Well, I knew I needed to set some time aside to spend with Emma. Being the middle child I feel sometimes that she doesn’t get as much attention as she deserves.

And I don’t want that to happen.

So today I took her down to the Third Street Pizza shop where we split a Hawaiian pizza while watching Monster’s University.

Her tiny body sat there barely able to keep the theatre seat down – in awe of the experience.

When the movie was over I asked her if she thought the movie was fun, and her reply was, “Momma, it wasn’t fun….it was awesome!”

Afterwards we stopped over at Starbucks and she ordered a vanilla bean frappacino and I bought my usual iced grande triple shot non-fat white mocha. We sat outside in the beautiful sunshine sipping our drinks and gazing at birds. She loves birds.

She kept saying, “Thank you momma, I love having mommy days together.”

After a couple more stops we headed back home for dinner, and Emma was in such a wonderful mood all evening.

They all need one on one attention from mommy’s and daddy’s. I’m glad we had a mother/daughter date.
