Date Night with Will

Happiness is...


Me & Will at Chuck E. Cheese with 80 tokens to spend and lots of time!

It was Will's turn for Date Night last Friday. I think he really wanted to pick Steve but since Steve was not feeling up to it (hmmm....) he got me. I realized right after I ordered all of those tokens that we would never use them all. I finally started shoving handfuls of them in my back pockets when he wasn't looking after we had been there for 2 hours. Will doesn't care a bunch about the tickets. He really likes the racing games or anything he can win. If it's too hard, he won't do it more than once. If he is good at it, he will tell you all about it. He loves that one game where you shoot the water at the bullseye to ring the bell. He talked about that game the whole way there and that was the first and last game of the night. We did manage to rack up 100 tickets. He chose an Airhead and 2 lollipops. That kid is all about the food! I realized the next morning that he didn't eat any of what he bought. He told me he was waiting for Jackson to get home from a sleepover so he could give him the Airhead. I asked him why he wanted to give it to his brother. He replied, "because it will make him happy". While we were eating dinner, he looked at me and said, "Mom, why do you like me?". I gave him a long list of all of the many reasons that I like him while he smiled big and nodded the whole time in agreement. I then asked him, "Will, why do you like me?". He said, "because I love you!". How great is that kid?
