You can tell from the official "start of the date" photo, she has absolutely no clue what I'm saying. Or she's getting a call on her Disney Princess phone that she can't ignore. She's in high demand.
Because of my Type A personality, I did have the whole evening planned. I also have some belief that a toddler will follow my plans to a "T".First stop of the evening was Subway. I thought if we were going to have a night of adventure, we may as well start by eating fresh.
We even got a little fancy, by putting the olives on our fingers. Not our fingers. Zoe's finger. She's more "hands on" when eating than I am.
Then we loaded up in the car for the next stop. I got a look that said, "where else are you taking me now?" She was happy to see grass, trees and lots of open space to run. We were at the park!
As we were walking toward the play equipment, we met a puppy named Oscar. The owners were very sweet in letting Zoe get close to Oscar, but she was having none of it. Afterall, there were dead pine needles on the ground that she had to pick up. Puppies cannot compare to dead pine needles.
A swing totally can though.
So can a slide. Especially one she can do all by herself.
In park hierarchy, a big stick beats out playground equipment.
After 2 trips around the cool area with all the sticks, pine needles and pine cones, it was time to go home. The sun was starting to set and the breeze was getting chilly. Not to mention it's bath night. The adventures weren't over.
She couldn't hear me though. Because she was doing this.
I guess a date with mommy isn't meant to end.
Or maybe she wasn't ready to get rid of the dead pine needle and large stick.
I know which one I choose to believe.
