The Luxury of an Uninterrupted Thought
May 23rd, 2005 by Tana
Saturday night Steve and I left Ben with his mom and went out on a date to celebrate our three year wedding anniversary. Steve’s mom watches Ben once a week on Tuesday evenings, but Steve uses that time to study and I use that time to do Mary Kay. So when Steve and I are around each other, Ben is always with us. Occasionally we get brave enough to eat out, but the adventure is always complicated by getting Ben in and out of his car seat, changing his diapers, and mostly, keeping him entertained. Sitting at a table together and having a conversation with each other where we each could actually continue talking until we expressed thought in its entirety…you just don’t understand what a luxury that is until you have kids! I told Steve we need to have date nights where we leave Ben with his mom at least once a month.
I think God made little children cute and gave them innocent expressions so that we would forgive them for interrupting us all the time and turning a fairly simple lifestyle into complete chaos. So with that in mind, here’s a cute picture of Ben:
