It has become painfully obvious lately that Seth needs some quality time with me.
A lot has happened in that wee one's life in the last six months.
New sister.
Mom home for maternity leave and then gone again.
Keith "stealing" time with his mom....
Seth started to act out to get my attention and in one sense, it worked.
I sat up and realized something has got to change!
(or else)
So, after reading the Love Languages for Children, Seth and I packed up and hit a local hotel for the weekend. We had a room and a water park.
What more could we need? :)
Bunk beds, of course!
I didn't force Seth to sleep in them, but the novelty was fun.
(The whole idea was to hit all five love languages -- including physical touch. Let's just say he slept ON me. When's my vacation???)
The space shuttle pictured was a gift.
From me.
He LOVES it.
(And I must say it is very cool....)
We spent hours playing with it.
Quality Time.
No exaggeration....
After hours at the water park (photos below) we went to Two Toots for lunch.
Seth did a "good job" listening to the rules. :)
Words of affirmation.
And the water park, well, it was a blast.
Seth was very concerned about the big bucket that would tip and pour cold water, all over your head.
So I served him by watching out for the tippage. :)
But what he loved most, was the 2 million trips around the lazy river. :)
(Oh, and he DID try out the green slide in the background.
Um, not so much...)
It was a great date weekend!
Love you, little man.
