Last night Andrew had a gig so I asked a babysitter to come be with Elliott while Liam and I went to the pool for a twilight swim. I think it was the combination of having a special "date night" with mom and getting to show off his new swimming abilities, but I have rarely seen Liam happier. After an hour of "Mom, watch this!" and what seemed like hundreds of dives under water, I finally coerced the huge smile out of the community bathtub so we could shower, put on PJs and walk down to the river to check out the river boat and eat chocolate granola bars. It was one of the best dates I've had in a long time. I think Liam would agree.
Elliott and I had our one-on-one date this morning while Liam and dad slept -- to the grocery store. Poor second child. But the outing seemed to suit him just fine. He, too, was happy as a lark.
