Date Knight

Aiden took me out to Chic-fil-A's mother/son Date Knight.  Aiden was very excited because Chic-fil-A is his favorite place to eat!  I was looking forward to some one-on-one time with him too.  Jeff got him dressed and evidently gave him a few "pointers" for the date and we were on our way.  He opened the door for me when we arrived.  They had "dressed-up" the restaurant with table cloths, a saxophone player, servers and of course- a balloon artist.  Aiden was very shy when the lady asked what animal he wanted her to make out of a balloon.  I choose for him- a dinosaur, and he loved it!  He was pretending it was eating his nuggets.  He had a color sheet and then we ate dinner.  Aiden watched the balloon artist make other boys' animals and was very impressed.  We split a cookie sundae for dessert.
After dinner we went to Toys R Us so Aiden could pick out a toy with all the money he had earned from doing chores.  I told him about the store; how it was loaded with lots of toys and he was so excited when we walked in!  He had $10, and he knew how to read the prices.  He settled on a Star Wars light saber sword for $9.99.  We found the aisle of Home Depot lawn equipment toys (mower, weed eater, blower, etc.) and these were his favorite; they were out of his budget and I explained that he could save for one of them, but he didn't want to leave empty handed. :-)
