Mommy Son Date!

Oliver and I went on a mommy son date on Saturday morning! There's not a lot of one-on-one time for just the two of us anymore, so I wanted to have a morning where I could just focus on him. Gabby and Daddy got to go out and have some fun time of their own at the pet store then the book store!

For our mommy son date, we went to one of his favorite places (and it's free too - bonus)... the play area at the Galleria. It has a jungle animal theme and if you know my boy, he has a deep love for all things jungle animal. He also is all boy and loves to run, climb and jump, so this play area is a perfect outlet for him! We met up with two other moms and friends of his there so it was a full morning. We got to ride the escalators ("up, up, up to the ceiling mommy"), watch a magic show that the Galleria hosts on Saturday mornings, have lunch at McDonalds (and get a milkshake - mommy and Oli's favorite!), play in a toy/puppet store, ride an "elervator," and get a balloon. What a fun day! I loved just focusing my attention on him and having precious, priceless conversations with him. He is at such a fun age and is a joy to be around. He is a great conversationalist when he is in the mood and is starting to ask a lot of questions to try and figure out his little world. I loved every second of our morning together and can't wait to do it again soon. Love that boy!

Here he is with his friends Jeremiah and Jackson:
