Daddy had to work late tonight. So, little man and I ditched scrounging the refrigerator for leftovers and what could suffice for baby food, and headed to Panera to share some dinner and drinks together. We had such a fun time and Breck was a doll the entire dinner. The only time I had to Shhh him was when he was belly laughing so loud the entire restaurant could have heard his little chuckle. He was looking to his left and laughing it up constantly in between bites. I finally peeked my head outside and around the booth to see what he was giggling at... to find he was flirting with a cute little old lady who was waving and making faces at him. He was smitten. Everyone in earshot was catching Breck's contagious laugh except the smug businessman in the corner who was obviously pretending with all his might to be all business like and ignore the cute baby laugh. Who can ignore a baby that is laughing? Really, dude? Go on. Just keep starring at that computer screen, while I document a moment worth cherishing. I don't mind if I do. Ha! Here are a few pictures I got of Breck on my phone tonight.
After dinner we went to Target to do a little shopping for several parties and showers we've rsvp'd for in the upcoming month. About half-way through the shopping, Breck demanded that I free him from the cart and either hold him or let him push the cart. I finally just figured we aren't in a hurry, so why not let him push the cart while I (unbeknownst to him) steer. He felt independent and I didn't have to juggle a squirming baby. It was a win win. Several shoppers chuckled as they passed and saw what he was doing. This was my view:
Breck meltdowned it when I buckled him in the car-seat. I promised him we were going to go home. When we pulled in the drive, I looked back to find him just glaring at me. I asked him if he was mad at me? He got a sparkle in his eye, and a grin on his face and shook his head "No-no" several times. Made me laugh and put my heart at ease. :)
Gotta love date nights with my little man.
