date

when i was pregnant with zaiah i made a promise to myself that i would take kai on a special date every so often, just me and him. well, it took me almost 2 yrs to do this! actually writing this makes me a little sad that i haven't followed through.

last week i took kai to the play, Go Dog Go. it's based on the book by Dr. Suess. oh so good! kai loved it and i did just as much. afterwards we went to get ice cream at his favorite ice cream shop. a friend the other day mentioned her friend takes her children somewhere special every month on the date they were born, just the two of them. i thought this was a good way to get in the habit. i think i might start doing this with kai. zaiah and i already get a lot of alone time while kai is in school so i'll start something with her once she's in school too.
