Lindsay & Mommy Date

On Saturday Lindsay and I had our very first Mother-Daughter Date! I am not sure who was more excited, me or her :) We got all dolled up and went to see the Nutcracker Ballet at Rider University, put on by a local dance studio. It was not too long, and the dancers were young kids. Lindsay said, "Hey! That girl might be really big, like 7 or something!"

My beautiful date... She wanted me to curl her hair like Mommy's. 

Lindsay helped me pick out my sweater and said, "Mama, let's be matching and wear polka dots!"

Us ladies dined at the WildFlour Café, a gluten-free restaurant I have been dying to try. It is in a really cute old home on main street in Lawrenceville. Lindsay ordered us buttermilk pancakes and fruit! Yum!

Here's a picture from summertime. Imagine it covered in snow...so cozy!

It was so precious to just be near my eldest and hear her talk all about her little world. We talked about her best friends, Lila and Teagan, and how she was excited to go to preschool. I discovered her favorite colors are pink AND purple.

Felt sassy drinking her lemon water!

Here we are at the theatre, and I let her go to the box office and pick up our tickets. She proudly gave the ticket lady the money and took the tickets to give to the doorman.

"I have the golden tickets!"

(Sorry the photos are so dark, I took them with my cell phone camera that doesn't have a flash )

Inside the theatre we waited for the show to begin and she wanted to sit on my lap ;) I love my big girl, but it was just heaven that she let me snuggle while we watched the show. Her favorite dance was Waltz of the Flowers, and she even recognized the music to her own dance she will be doing on Saturday.

During intermission, we went into the lobby to get a treat and the Dew Drop Fairy was walking around. Lindsay was thrilled to get to take a picture and hug her!! Lindsay was so excited when she saw her new friend dancing on stage.

 



I love my big girl, and the beautiful little person she is becoming on the inside and outside. What a blessing it is to be her Mama and walk beside her in this sweet life!
