blue eyes...

i decided last night that we needed to go out on a "real" date.  we go out to dinner all the time to places like the fish grill (our favorite), and so on...but we never do anything afterwards.  we always just come home and watch a movie, and for any of you who know kyle, you know he falls asleep.  


he's a very boring movie partner....


so...last night we went out to dinner at lucille's and then went out to see a movie (much more fun).  of course we brought along our little munchkin, but he was so tired i figured he would just sleep.  much to my surprise, at dinner little blue eyes sat staring at me from across the table.


when we got to the movies, all i saw the whole time were 


little blue eyes..... 


staring at the screen.


he didn't fall asleep once, and afterwards he smiled and laughed as his daddy bounced him down the stairs....(this was at 11 pm, by the way)


i did not expect this being a mom.  i expected it to be much harder.  


though those days may be ahead of me, i am enjoying every minute of this precious time i have with my little blue eyes.
