Lyla's Special Night

Last Friday night Grace wanted to spend the night with Reesi....without Lyla. This is tricky. Lyla, of course, wants to be involved in everything Grace and Reesi do. And she is always included. But that night Grace really wanted a night without Lyla. So, we had to come up with a "reason" Grace was going to Reesi's house without Lyla. Joni had the idea to make a special night all about Lyla. So, I told Lyla we were going to have a special night, just her and mommy and daddy and she got to choose whatever she wanted to do. She said she wanted a cake with candles and a long movie. Eric was playing in a golf tournament, so Lyla and I went to dinner together and she chose what kind of food she wanted, which was pizza. I did refuse ChuckECheese, but we did get pizza. Then we went to Publix for a cake. I made her settle for a cupcake when she really wanted a full size cake. I just couldn't have a huge cake in my kitchen for the next week! Then we went to Blockbuster to pick out a movie. It was Batman for her. Then after the movie, she wanted mommy to sleep with her all night. It was a special night, just for Lyla. And Grace had a good night too. Dinner, movie and slumber party with Reesi.
