I recently read a cute article in one of my parenting magazines. It was about Motherly Love and had some examples of what motherly love it (letting him have the last cookie in the cookie jar even though you were craving something sweet). I decided I can do that in my posts. Some will have photos some won't. Besides my daily posts about what we are up to (or Brandon is up to) and my motherly love moments, I have decided to start writing a book. Note- I said START...who knows when I will finish it. I actually have a few ideas in my head for books.
My first will of course be about mothering...I already have a title. "Don't Forget the Nuk" and other humorisms of motherhood. I picked that title because that is a very popular line in our house. More on that later.
Anyway-onto our first Motherly Love day.
Friday, December 12th: Brandon and I spent the morning together at home. I had to visit the church where our expo was to be and run a few other errands. My parents watched Brandon. Crazy Auntie Nickey was going to stay the night at my parents too so we all decided to keep Brandon overnight at their house. (YEAH- sleepy time for mom and dad). Rob and I had a great date night planned. We have been saving for this night and had a coupon and needed a date night since it had been awhile. Rob and I got ready and headed downtown. We went to Zelos for dinner (and wine). Then we walked a few blocks to catch the horse drawn carriage ride. Both of us have wanted to do this. It was a simple ride but it was romantic and fun. We needed the night away.
Here is Rob with the horse (Johnny Be Good- was his name).
MOTHERLY LOVE:
Is missing your baby endlessly as you are apart for a night but knowing it is good for all involved as special mommy/daddy time is important.
Is taking the time alone whether it be to sleep or a massage or even just to relax so you can be refreshed for your child.
