JW Tumbles and Date Night

Yesterday was a fun day.  In the morning, I took Jack to JW Tumbles class and Grandpa joined us to see what it was all about.  Jack seemed to be in a little bit of a funk, but he had fun learning how to slide down the fire pole.  Maybe he'll be a firefighter when he grows up.

He's such an adventurous little boy...I love it!

Thank you Grandpa for joining us at tumbles class...it meant a lot to Jack to have you there!

Then last night, Brad and I had a date night and my parents kept Jack for an overnight sleepover.  It was only the second time that he spent the night away from both of us at the same time, and he did so well:)  Grammy and Grampy bought Jack a little art table that he loved very much, and they colored, made Valentines, did puzzles, played, and watched movies.  Jack got to have a special IHOP pancake with a fruit face for dinner, and he spent the night snuggled up next to Grammy and Grampy and slept until 8:30.  How come when he's with us he won't eat food with toppings and he's up at 6 am?!  What's that secret?

While Jack had tons of fun at his sleepover, Brad and I went out to a great seafood restaurant where Brad could eat all of the oysters on a half-shell and sushi his little heart desired.  He was in heaven, and it was the perfect Valentine's gift for him:)  Then we went to Carter's and had a shopping hunt.  We had to each buy one thing for Jack and one thing for the baby based on what our gut is telling us we're having.  He bought for a boy - I bought for a girl.  We shall see...  We had planned to go to a movie, but when we got there the timings didn't work out quite right, so we headed home, talked about how we don't think we could ever go on vacation without Jack since we missed him so much, and watched a movie at home.  It was a perfect date!

Thank you Grammy and Grampy for keeping Jack so that we could spend some time together to celebrate Valentine's Day!  We're so lucky to have so many family members so close by...
