Hubby and I have been going through some stressful times and unfortunately, it has effected Bunny. It's been a lot better and I thought that it would be nice if I took her out for some "mommy and me" time. I told her that I was going to take her to see 'Horton Hears a Who' at the movie theaters. She was so excited. Over a year ago, it was her favorite bedtime story but when I asked her about the book, she had no recollection of it. She was excited that she was going to have mommy all to herself. I took Lamb with me to pick up Bunny and on our way home, Bunny was letting Lamb know that we were going to go on a date. Lamb had no clue what Bunny was jabbering on and translated it as, "mommy, Bunny said that I can't go home... ah!!" and broke out in to tears. I comforted her that that wasn't the case. Lamb was upset that we were going to the movies and she was not but I bribed her by saying that I'd bring home an icee for her. Then she was fine.
It was a great time and Bunny had a smile from ear to ear the whole time. While we were out, she kept asking "are we still on a date, mommy?" Then at home, I was making dinner and she comes up and she give me a hug and she asks," mommy, are we still on a date?" I laughed and told her now that we are home, our date day is over but we'll have many more. She runs off hooting and hollering all happy. I hope she'll always be that excited to hang out with me.
The movie was great. Check out my review.

Aw! That's awesome that you were able to spend that time with Emma. I'm sure she'll remember it for a long time. G went to see it with daddy and her aunt the other day. I don't think she really understood, but she got to eat a hot dog and popcorn so she was a happy camper.
that is so cute! i'm going to file "date day" away in my mind to use with ESK when she gets older! i remember going to see my first movie with my mom and our neighbors too. it was a double feature -- "winnie the pooh" and "the sword in the stone". i think i fell asleep, but i still remember it being a special experience.
by the way, i'm pretty sure i'm not preggers. you've got me all worried now though. might have to make a trip to the drug store this afternoon....
what in the world, jwk?!! :) i'm gone for a week and all this going on in the blogosphere?! :)
hope you had a wonderful easter, A! this is such a sweet and achingly-touching story. :) i will treasure this story also, and hope that N will one day enjoy having mommy all to himself.
