My girl and I had a date night last night. In case the picture confuses you, in our home Jenna is the "whoa-man!"
We had grand plans of dinner and the Lady Gymbacks gymnastics meet against Alabama. Before exiting the Interstate at the University I started asking her what she wanted to eat. I was scared when she said no to everything I asked including McDonald's. Finally she said she wanted a "Biiiiig Waffle." So off to Waffle House we went. When the waiter came over that's exactly how she ordered. Her arms made a huge circle, her eyes were super wide, and she said "I want a biiiiiig Waffle." It was classic. I was a little nervous when a normal size waffle came to the table but she looked at me wide-eyed and proclaimed. "It's giant!"
The gymnastics was fun. It held her attention for 40-45 minute before she couldn't stay in her seat anymore. You can never tell how big of an impact you have on your kids when they are with you. That night Jenna got a blow by blow detail of what she saw, but the real payoff for me was Sunday morning. I went to drop her off at Sunday School and she marched right in holding my hand. It took her 5 minutes (holding my hand the entire time) to tell her Sunday School teacher everything "me and my Daddy" did on "our date night."
It's a good thing moments like that aren't everyday or we'd have 10 kids.
Hello, World!
