Date Night with Spit up on my Sleeve

That is my kind of night out.  As I was looking in the mirror right before my hubby and I walked out the door for our first time out without the little one I saw that I had a small trail of dried spit up on the red sleeve of my sweatshirt.  I considered changing, but then I thought,  no I think I would like to wear it.

This was just another moment that reminded me how going through such great lengths to have a child has completely changed my perspective.  Other people might groan and be upset that their child spit up on them again and they have to change to look presentable.  But not me.  I was happy to have this be a part of my outfit.  It was like a badge of honor.

My hubby and I had a great night out.  We saw the movie True Grit.  I highly recommend it.  And then we went out to dinner at a Thai restaurant.  We cleaned our plates which was just as well because we already had a doggie bag waiting for us at home.  (see the picture below)

This is my little guy in his pajama sack.  Some call them potato sacks, we prefer to call this one his "doggie bag".  They are great pjs because just one zip and you are done.  This is him first thing in the morning.

  1. Awe, so cute!!! Glad you guys had such a great night out. You're right I think working so hard to have a family gives you a very different perspective than the average parent.

  5. That is the cutest doggie-bag I've ever seen! Glad you and hubby enjoyed your date night! And I also agree about the different perspective... I think it's cute that you wore your 'badge of honor'... that just means that little man was with you even though he wasn't! :)

  7. Totally agree that going through IF makes you appreciate EVERY moment as a parent-- even the not-so-glamorous ones involving spit up. :) Your little one is a cutie. I used to love putting Camden in sleep sacks.

  8. I'm glad that you had a nice date night out. We're gearing up for one next weekend, and I can't wait.

    I totally agree that struggling to have a child makes us cherish each and every thing about being a parent. I know it's made me a very different momma from the one I might have been otherwise.

    That is a really cute doggy bag. ;)

  10. Sounds like a lovely date night! My husband and I don't get out much, but if we did, that might be just the perfect evening!

    Your "doggy bag" is adorable! What a blessing!
