One of the best evenings I’ve had in weeks was date night with the huz.  What is a “date night” you ask?  Well, it’s this thing where you leave the kid(s) with a baby-sitter or a Tati and you just go out with your significant other.  You can eat dinner or see a movie or whatever you want!  It’s super fun.  We ate dinner and saw a movie, for the record.  Have you guys done this lately?  It’s good for the soul.  Even if your dinner is served cold and the movie you saw is actually 20 years old.  Getting dressed and holding hands with a handsome guy never gets old.

I thought we would always be good at dating, because when it was just us, we were awesome at it.  It was so easy!  But with the little one, it really does become more difficult.  You have to make an effort and make the time.  Luckily when you do, it’s oh so very nice.  And we’re still good at having fun together.  Phew!

On the other hand, by leaving for an evening, you do run the risk of your child being sad about your absence and not going to bed until 2am!  OK, he wasn’t sad, he was sick.  But still.  That was a rough night.  Kinda worth it anyway.
