Daddy, Mommy, & Michael makes 3

We finally took Michael out for some 1 on 1 time with just myself and Sean. I have been dreaming about doing this since reading a fellow bloggers story with her son. I've asked my husband multiple times, but with his sced. and my forgetfulness, the idea kept falling through. With our youngest, Shelby, turning 2 at the end of the month, my mind has been wrapped around her and her birthday. I'd look at Michael and know I needed to take time for him this month. I made it known to my husband that I really wanted to do this for Michael. It needed to be a priority. I know Michael is going to feel left out on Shelby's birthday so I needed this day for him, just him so he knew he was special.

Today Michael didn't wake up feeling good. He was crying and had a slight fever. I gave him some ibprophen and said we are just going to stay home and take an easy day. Soon after, Mike was back to his normal self, playing and ruff housing per his norm. Around 3 Mike even asked if we could go to the park. Shortly after Sean called and asked if I wanted to take Mike out tonight. I knew I didn't want to take him outside because of the weather but since he was feeling better I agreed and then made plans with my mom for her to watch Shell's.

We got a pizza for my mom and Shelby and then the 3 of us headed out. We drove around downtown vancouver looking for a place to eat (we had no clue what was around down there). We ended up with a corner pizza diner. We enjoyed the view of the downtown area and the cars that drove by. The entertainment really picked up when it started pouring buckets of rain. A family ran into the pizza Place to escape the downpour. While Sean was paying, Mike and I headed for the car, and inbetween the car and curb was fast moving runoff water. Michael made the comment "look a river!"

We got to the theater and I took Mike to the RR but he didn't stay to long, he is not a fan of the automatic toilets since they tend to go off randomly and it scares him "I don't want it mom!"

Before the movie started a lot of great previews came on for some upcoming flics. There are two in particular we are excited for. One was called walking with dinosaurs and Michael was all over that, "wow! look at those big Dinosaurs!" and two, was a teaser for Rio 2 due for April 2014. I don't know who was more excited for that, Michael or Myself. He and Shelby adore Rio. Its so full of color and great music and they both love to dance to it. I enjoy it just as much and its one I have not tired of.

Epic was the movie of choice. Great movie for both adults and kids. Full of action, comedy, adventure, and color! Michael deemed it his favorite movie and gave me the biggest hug & said "thank you so much!"

We were parked in the parking garage so Sean swooped Michael up and tried having him walk on the ceiling, that didn't go over to well. So then he tired having Mike touch the ceiling which made him happy, but didn't. We also took Mike to the side of the garage so he can look out (we were parked on the second story). Sean let him look down and Mike held on real tight "NO! I don't want it, it's too high!" I had no idea Michael had a fear of heights but it really makes sense. I have an intense fear of heights that I've had since I was super little.

When we returned home "nana" got an earful of the evening adventures. I also received an earful from my mom as to her 1 on 1 with Shelby. She had no idea Shelby actually played with toys. That she is quiet and content and just plays. It was quite comical. Shelby usually only gets to play like that while Michael is away or asleep, which is rare, so I'm happy she
Got some play time to herself.

I am so grateful we did this tonight, it was humbling to my mommy soul. It was food for my heart and I def. crave more.
