Pizza Day...

I took Caleb to get a haircut yesterday morning, then afterwards decided to head over to Incredible Pizza. He's never been there so I thought it would be a fun surprise for him. It ended up being even better than I thought because we were the ONLY ones there. Seriously.... The whole place was ours. The guys working there were playing the games so any tickets that came out, they gave to us. We got to play whatever we wanted when we wanted to, and to top it off, when I found out I didn't have enough left on my game card for go-kart races, the guy just said he'd let us go for free. So nice! The place isn't cheap, but for $10, we really got a fantastic deal and Caleb loved it!

I love having fun days like that out with man little man. When it's just the two of us, we can just talk and talk and have some of those great bonding moments. Caleb is turning into quite a story teller now, so we have some very interesting conversations.

This morning I had one of those too- precious moments when Caleb rolls over next to me, grabs my face with his little hands, smiles, kisses me, and says, "Mommy! I love you. Good morning." Then he made little puppy sounds and cuddled into my neck. It's hard for me to hold back the tears when that kind of sweetness happens. I know he has his moments of impatience and not wanting to listen, but he usually has this amazingly sweet and gentle side that melts my heart, and he always has.
