Double Dates

Saturday was such a nice day. It was 81 and not windy. We just had to have an outside date. We took lunch to the park for a picnic and some playing. Monks took his push and pop toy and we walked the track across from the zoo and fed ducks. When he saw them he walked right up to the water and stared at all of them. I asked him what the duck says and he barked. I said no monkey they say quack quack! After he knew what they said he pointed and walked the whole way saying “cack! cack!” Sweetest quack ever? It was hilarious. We crossed a little wooden bridge over some water and when we got to it, he stopped and looked down and lifted his hand for Daddy to take it. He would not walk across it without you holding his hand but as soon as you crossed it, he let go. He did not push his toy, he dragged it behind him the whole time. He barked at several dogs and quacked at all the ducks. He even told a little girl bye. It was a fun day and he was ready for his nap when we got home.

That evening, Devin and I had our date night. We had a great time. Tio and Tia stayed with Monks and as soon as we got home, I could not wait to hear the stories. Tio said that Monks kept saying mama and he would tell him I was not there and told him to say Tio and he did! He said it three times in a row. He also loved playing in a tub for his cars and wanted to be pushed around the living room. Tio put that video on You Tube and once I am at home, I will add it to the blog! Our first video! He said they ate and played and had lots of fun. I also saw a video of Monks putting a book on his head and then when it fell he would yell whoa and laugh hysterically. Too cute. Tia said that about 8 he started rubbing his eyes and so she got him ready for bed. Thanks guys for watching our sweet boy while we enjoyed each other!
