Date Nights with Mommy

The past few years I have been wanting take Dominic to see "Aladdin" at the Palace Theater in Manchester.  It just always plays during the time we are at Mt. Washington.  This year we were able to attend and it was well worth the wait.  At this point Dominic knew all the songs and had cool dance moves to go along.

We went to a 6:30 show on Wednesday night and it was perfect.  When we got there Dominic started singing and was asking what I thought they were going to perform first.  I was not sure for its a 45 minute play due to little kids performance.  They did a great job with the beginning at the market (songs included), Aladdin being the chosen one with Gifar, meeting the genie and then how the titan gets brain washed by Gifar.  Very well done performance and the glow sticks were a perk to have during.  At the very end we were able to meet all the characters and get their signatures.  I asked Dominic his favorite part of the movie and he said the Genie and all his songs.

Mark and I have been taking the kids on date nights (like Aladdin) and spending one on one time.  Madeline choose to have a park date night with McDonald's.  It was so much fun and she had a blast.  Everything we did she would turn back to me asking to hold her hand, hurry up and wait. Wait mom for me to get you.  There was one part of us playing where she made ma stop at the swings and said they were dirty.  

I asked why were they dirty, they looked clean to me.  She said someone pooed on them and we need to clean them. We ended up on the swings and we were learning how to pump our legs.  She did pretty good and I was very proud.

I cannot believe how big she is now.  I just think about Dominic at this age and know this will only last for a little bit and to embrace these moments.
