i tried taking emerson on a little date tonight. i'm feeling sentimental about my time being split when julian comes. so yesterday we had a date too. went out for muffins and hot drinks early in the morning. but then... no julian... so we did it again. this time we went out for dinner together and then to see his first movie. we made it about half way through before he got scared and started wimpering. so we left and he spent the whole ride home telling me how he would come back when he was almost grown up and how we needed to go find a place to play that didn't have a big tv. :) i could eat him with a spoon.
for those of you who have seen shrek 2... it was puss-in-boots that put him over the edge. which may seem odd... but i was considering the fact that emerson has never in his life seen violence of any sort. (isn't that an incredible thought) so even the most mild of cartoons is probably alarming to him.
but... he liked the popcorn. and now he's referring to the movie theater as the popcorn place. the movie is secondary.

well... hopefully julian will decide to come soon. but then again... i wouldn't mind having one more date.
