A milestone

No this wasn’t one of Little Man’s milestones. This one was mine and hubbie’s. Tonight for the very first time, we got a babysitter who wasn’t family, and we went out. We went to the cinema and it was just great to get out together for a few hours.

I think that it’s so important to get time together as a couple at any stage in your relationship. But it’s especially true when you’ve had a baby. Pre-Little Man we went to the cinema regularly. There’s a restaurant next door to our local cinema where we used to go for a quick bite before the movie started. We went there so often that when taking our order they’d ask what time the show started so they could make sure we were done on time.

Last year I don’t think we ate there once!

So tonight was such a pleasure to get to go out, sit in the cinema, eat our popcorn and laugh at a good movie. We were home by 10pm but I still feel like I had a great night out! By the way – Due Date is surprisingly funny. I recommend it!

And then I got to come home and watch my recording of x-factor and find out who got kicked off the show tonight before I accidentally found out about it through someones Facebook status! Fantastic!
