doughnut date

Lewis and I recently went on our first ever "Doughnut Date." Some friends gave us a cd that a girl they knew recorded and the boys both absolutely love it. One song is about going on a doughnut date with a friend and getting a "frosted with sprinkles" doughnut. Lewis is an extremely picky eater, but since he sings about doughnuts all the time, it seemed like he might be open to eating one. Sure enough, he picked one that was frosted with pink sprinkles (he could've gotten green, or mixed...but he chose PINK!) and he ate every bite! I had to hand him each bite, he wasn't willing to eat it on his own, but he didn't fight with me about it either.

To make the time even more fun, we played a Blue's Clues version of "Memory." Owen and I had stopped at a local thrift store and found it for $1 that morning. Lewis was thrilled about that too. We had a good time, and Lewis even said "hi" to quite a few others visiting the Great American Donut Shop that day.


We actually stopped by the mall before that and Lewis got to ride the carousel. We tried riding a couple other times recently in Chattanooga, and in Bowling Green when the carousel was not operating. This time worked out, and then he got to ride Nessie, a dragon that goes up and down. We also stopped in at Macy's and rode the escalator a few times, which he also really loved. I guess you could say Lewis is a cheap date.
