Our Date

Every Friday morning Isaac and mommy go on a date. This idea started when we realized that Isaac needed some extra special time with mommy to balance out the needs of Prema and now Eli. Isaac gets to choose where we go. His favorite spot is the Starbucks in between our Home Depot and grocery store Publix (the best grocery store in all the world!!) This became Isaac's favorite place to go when we retreated away from the choas one time and watched the Home Depot forklift work outside the coffee shop. Each visit Isaac hopes we see the forklift working. If it is not working we drive to the back of the store just to catch a glimpse of it resting in its parking stall. If there is no forklift action happening, Isaac enjoys sitting at the coffee bar watching the baristas make all of the customers' drinks. Each visit to Starbucks (aka "hot tea store" for Isaac) Isaac enjoys a "hot tea" (warm milk), blueberry muffin and the whipped cream off of mom's drink. He commentates to the baristas about what they are doing. "You are stacking the cups." "You are pouring the milk." He keeps repeating his comments until they respond. Sometimes this can take them a while to catch on that the little kid is not going to stop talking until they respond.
