A Date with Des

I had a date with my favorite lil' guy today and it was so fun to just be with him, just the two of us.  First we went to Hobby Lobby so that he could pick out a toy/craft of his choosing for having read-out-loud 5 books.  Des has a sticker chart for reading and for every book he reads, he gets a sticker, and for every 5 books he reads, he gets a prize.  He is reading the BOB books just like Stella did and is enjoying it.  Des's attention span and his ability to sit and read before getting distracted by something else is also increasing day by day.

Anyway, back to the date.  At Hobby Lobby Des picked out a wind-up caterpillar toy as well as a froggy boo boo ice pack. 

Here he is showing off his prizes.

After Hobby Lobby, we went to a restaurant called Grubs to eat.  It was our first time there and we loved it.  The food was really yummy.  I attempted to take pictures of the two of us before our food came, but my short arms, my squirmy date, and the dim lighting made it a challenge.  But I still love these pix because of the happy smiles on my happy boy's face.

Des was so appreciative of our date and time together and kept telling me how much fun he was having and how much he loves me.  Oh, how I love this sweet boy.  I can't wait to go on another date again, Bud Bud!
