This morning, andrea and i decided to spend some quality time together so we agreed to go out on a date this afternoon - just the two of us. Little did we know that mateo had a plan of his own.

You see, when we agreed to go out, our original plan was to leave as soon as mateo goes to bed. But as luck would have it, he didn’t just refuse to comply with his usual sleeping schedule, but he also took shorter naps instead of the usual 2-hour ones. Perhaps he’s sensing that we’re about to leave and that’s he’s way of saying I’m coming with you, commented andrea. I agreed. So we took the little babsy with us instead.

The romantic date turned into a family outing. The three of us bought some shades, some blank DVDs and a few other things. Afterwards, we ate some ice cream and we took a walk around the department store pausing every once and a while to take a look at some items. We took mateo for a ride at an amusement store. Then, we looked at some art works on display at the activity area. We were having so much fun that we didn’t even notice how long we’ve been going around already. It was not until mateo complained and started asking for milk that we decided to call it a day and head home.

We were home before 8 pm. I was tired and hungry. My feet were a bit sore but nothing could dampen my spirit. And although I admit that I was disappointed at first when I found out that we were canceling our date, it turned out to be one memorable outing.
