She’s been talking about her special night forever and we finally set a date to take our baby girl out on the town by herself, no brothers allowed. Only Daddy, Mommy, and Isla Shea were invited. Her 3 words to sum up the evening…”Best Day Ever!” Isla must have given John and I a thousand kisses by the time the night was over and said a thousand “I love you”s as well! She LOVED this night and so did we. The thing that gets me the most is that it didn’t have to be an extravagant evening out, she was content with burgers from MShack and a late night trip to the bookstore. Really all she wanted was some undivided attention from Mommy and Daddy and the time alone she remembers having with us before brothers came into the picture. Hard to believe that was almost 2 1/2 years ago. It was a perfect night with our angel and I look forward to doing this with each of our babies monthly.
The night went something like this: She picked her favorite outfit to wear and had Mommy do her hair, we drove to MShack to chow down on the best cheese burgers ever and sip on the most melt-in-your-mouth milkshakes in the world, we stood in the parking lot and marveled at the full moon hanging above us in the sky, we drove to the bookstore while Isla wished on the first star she saw, and at Books-a-Million Isla picked out a book for Leo, one for Palmer, and one for herself (a wedding sticker book). We read books, looked at toys, ran around the aisles, and soaked in this special night with this amazing daughter of ours. Isla, our first born, our baby girl, we thank God that he gave you to us. We love you more than anything in the world!
