Mommy and Me
Daddy had to go out of town today, so it was just Alex and Mommy all day and night on Saturday. We had a great time enjoying unseasonably warm weather, however. We took a nice long walk with Tucker to the playground, where Alex took his first ride in a big boy swing. We also thought about attempting the big boy slide, but then the darn thing was so static-y I couldn't bear to actually let him rub down it. Just placing him there made his hair stand up on end! 
He wasn't quite sure what to make of his new hairdo. During the walk, we got a lot of comments along the line of "it's hard to say who's cuter!" (meaning Tucker vs. Alex, I was definitely out of the running as far as cuteness goes as compared to those two!) That evening, Alex and I had a "date" and went out to dinner just the two of us.
Alex is a good date in that the people around us were just amazed at how well behaved he was. He was a bad date in that he kept flirting with everyone else around us! I think those women at the next table were encouraging him, but still...
