No one I'd rather be with.

I always feel weird talking about this because it is so complex, but I feel this special bond with Mason.  Is it because he's my first? Is it because he's a boy?  Or, is it because we went through so much when he was a tiny premature baby?  Maybe it's all of those things combined, I am not really sure.  Sometimes  I let myself feel guilty about it which I shouldn't.  It is not at all that I love him more, it is just different, a lot like a father and his daughter I'd assume.  


I've been feeling like I wanted to spend some special time with Mason.  He's been really difficult lately and I start to feel like all I do is nag about what he's doing wrong, so I wanted to spend a few hour just with him. 
 

We decided on Saturday morning that we were going to go to a movie.  Mason was so excited! 
We got to the cinema and it was sold out!  You should have seen all the tears.  Mason didn't get why we couldn't just take a different seat.  Poor kid.  his first time to a movie and he got the shaft.  


Instead, he wanted to go into the arcade (a personal hell for me).  He first road this motorcycle that I helped him with.  We did awful.  He wanted to drive the race car next and I kept my hands to myself. 


 He did way better without me.  


Sheesh. I am so not ready to be saying that out loud.
We had a nice morning together.  We need to do it more often, my special little guy.

I feel the exact same way about my boys! I know what youy mean, I think it's just a difference in relationships.

It's always nice to have some one-on-one time. You always have a special bond with your first.

Awww! It's so nice that you were able to spend some time alone together! How cool to have a mommy and son day together every so often!
