Maybe this will sound dumb, but I don't care. Today was one of those days that I always dreamed about having when I didn't have kids -- taking them to a matinee movie. So let us get on with the three good things, yes? Yes.
1. My little sidekick, my most handsome Carter Peters, went to his very first movie at the theatre today. This boy LOVES him some TV and watching a movie, so we figured he would do pretty well at the theatre and he did. Jeff and I both wanted to be there for his first movie, so baby Grayson went to Nan's house for a couple hours this afternoon. Grandpa, Nikin and Levi came with us, so we took up almost a whole row (at the smaller, "cheap" theatre). Carter did get up and walk back and forth to go see Nicole, Grandpa, his dad, and me quite a lot about half way through, but he mostly just stood in front of them and watched the movie. Looking over at him while he was sitting in his chair next to me with his popcorn in his lap was just one of those "it" moments where you feel like This. This right here is what it's all about.
I just can't even begin to express how much I love this little boy.
2. Grayson decided to wake up at 4:50 a.m.-ish to nurse. I figured that was perfect because he would nurse and go back to sleep until around 6-7, but no, he just decided he was up for the day. My awesome husband got up with him at 5:30 this morning to let me sleep. I got up at 9:30. 9:30, people. The man needs some sort of medal! He was so tired today and still wanted to come to the movie with his boy. He's the kind of dad and husband I only hoped I could have.
3. We got the boys into bed and I came out to the living room and didn't clean anything. Instead, I sat on the couch with the cat and watched Survivor while drinking my Earl Grey Tea. So relaxing. The weather is supposed to warm back up starting tomorrow and I'm looking forward to getting back to spending time outside with my little guys.
Have a good week, everyone!
