Date Night....

...for Brad and Isabella! Sometime during the day, Isabella "found" an invitation to her from Brad. She was so excited that Daddy made her a special card! She began asking what she should wear and where they were going. Brad told her they could go anywhere she wanted to go, so she picked Double Dave's Pizza! She loves to watch them toss the pizza dough and make the pizzas! She got dressed up and begged to wear her "sparkly pink shoes" to which I said, "It is the perfect 'Daddy date' shoe!" Then, she asked Brad to fasten the Ethiopian cross necklace around her neck that he had given her for Christmas. She LOVES to wear the necklace! After she was dressed and ready to go, Brad gave her a little card and on one knee he gave her a little tiny wristlet corsage!! She didn't quite know what it was but when Brad told her, she lifted up her little top and stuck out her hip for Brad to pin it on her waist!! It was so cute even though we don't exactly know why she thought it went on her hip! He put it on her wrist and she said, "Look, Mommy! A flower bracelet!" It was perfect (especially since he had the florist make it special since they had just closed and didn't have any tiny wristlets already made up...but who could say no to a daddy taking his little 5 year old on a date?!) and she was absolutely thrilled! It was raining when they left so she took her little umbrella and they had a great time!!

That is so adorable. She probably thought "Wrist" was the same as "Waist". So she thought you'd put it on her waist. I'm going to have my husband do that for my daughter soon. That is such a special thing to do!

That is too stinkin' precious! :) Sean takes our daughter on daddy date nights sometimes too but he's never bought her a corsage. Sean's gonna have to step it up. :)
