This Valentine's Day I had a very special date: Frankie & I went to the Mommy & Me showing of The Vow with a few other moms from my Mom Group, plus MK & Maya. While the movie wasn't anything great, it was a great outing for the moms and I would definitely go back! I wish we had known about it when Frankie was younger. He was the perfect date - quiet and didn't try to steal my popcorn. ;) He was a bit fussy at the start, but after a feeding and a little rocking, he fell right asleep and slept in his carseat in the seat next to me. I made sure to keep him facing away from the movie when he was awake; otherwise, I'm pretty sure he would have been glued to the fascinating huge screen.
In honor of President's Day, Alexandria had a very small parade through old town. Since the weather has been so gorgeous, Frank & I took Frankie to his first parade. He loves checking out the world and was wide-eyed throughout the whole parade. At one point, a group dressed in Civil War garb pointed & fired their guns while walking by and Frankie didn't even flinch! (This kid is terrified of the vacuum but the little nosey man doesn't jump at gun fire???) I was worried that we'd acted like neglectful parents and damaged his hearing (who would have guessed those guys would have actually fired their guns?!), but the little man is hearing just fine!
