a date

Tonight my sweetheart and I went on a date. It has been a while since we went on a proper date without the children. The week before our son was born to be exact and he will be two next month.

It was nice.
No Justine Clark or Beatrix Potter in the car.
No fighting.
No high chairs.
No spilt drinks.
No stares from disrupted diners.
No salt and pepper all over the table.
No running away.
No screaming.
No mess on the floor.
No repeated trips to the toilet just because it is upstairs.
Just us.
But it is nice to come home to our little ones who were very happy to see us just as we were happy to see them. Dates are nice. We agreed tonight that we are not going to leave it two years before our next one. They are too important.
