To avoid the overpriced, over-commercialized chaos of Valentine’s Day, we always celebrate a night early. This year was no exception. We made good of Grammy & Grandpa’s offer to babysit lil’ Addi & enjoyed a full night out on the town. Okay, so it was 2 hrs at The Cheesecake Factory. Close enough.
After only 7 weeks, it actually felt odd to ask the hostess for a table for 2, like we had arrived empty handed. It’s funny how quickly you can adjust to parenting. Even though our world has changed in a million and one ways, somehow it feels as if this is how it’s supposed to be. Like our lives hadn’t begun until now.
As we finished both of our cheesecakes (that’s right. we split an appetizer & a meal for the sole purpose of getting 2 desserts), we realized that we had managed to carry on an hour-long conversation without discussing feeding times and dirty diapers. Like we hadn’t missed a beat. It was an official date and we loved it. The highlight of the night, however, was reclaiming little Addison from the grandparents! Happy Valentine’s Day!
