The best date with my boy ever!

Jacob and I have a weekly date on Saturday mornings.(most Saturday's)and Jacob's favorite thing to do is go for breakfast. same as myself. I had the awesome privilege to have my son all to myself while Thomas took Chloe to the cottage yesterday and today. And I must say it was a GREAT time.
So what did we do? All of Jaker's favorite things. Took him out to dinner, went to the store to buy pop and junk food. Let him play his wii game while I held my scrap booking workshop.I also let him stay up late. ( not too late though) Took him out for breakfast, and let him talk about star wars the whole time :)then took him to the craft store, the book store and read and talked about more star wars ;)took him to his first and my first 3D movie. How to train a dragon. bought him his own pop and popcorn and licorice. Went to walmart to buy cat food- a must. But let him hang out in the Lego section forever!!! Bought him 2 tidbits at Tim Hortons instead of one. While I bought a coffee. I said yes instead of saying no. And it felt great.

I am a person that likes to have control. Even over the stupid stuff. The past couple of days I let that go. I tend to say no a lot and thought lets change that up a bit. It was freeing, and Jake has pronounced the past couple of days the best days of his entire life. That warmed my heart and made me smile. I want to make memories with both of my kids. and I want to spoil them once in awhile. And to learn to say yes more often then not rush and listen to endless stories about star wars. Why??? Cause it makes him feel loved and appreciated.
I am blessed indeed to have Jaker Baker as my son.
P:S Bedtime was only 15 Min's later. The pop was diet. shhhhh he would never know :)
