So as I mentioned earlier, Theo is now going to playgroup on Friday mornings. Therefore, this Friday was my first time in a long time with just Jack - and it was extra noteworthy since it was the last Friday we would have pre-baby, God-willing. So I decided that Jack and I should do something fun. I gave Jack a lot of different options of what we could do - go out for tea, go out for ice cream, go to a playbarn, etc. I was surprised, but probably shouldn't have been, when he said that his ideal way to spend Friday would be 'if someone invited us over'. This is just a small view into Jack - he is so gregarious. He truly would love to spend every minute with LOTS of people.
I decided I shouldn't be hurt by his lack of wanting to spend the morning with JUST me, but I did persevere and told him that we would do something just the two of us this Friday. So after some deliberation, he decided on ice cream in the morning! We walked down to Southgate (he scooted on his new scooter) and ended up at McDonalds since it was the only restaurant that had ice cream in the morning. We then topped the time off by riding the underground 2 stops and scooting home again. Ice Cream and Trains - a sure win for any four-year-old! Here is a video of Jack at McDonalds.

On the phone he told me his ice cream was vanilla. Now I understand why---not as many choices as Central Dairy. What a fun memory for both of you.
Sweet boy! And what a "hip" McDonalds! Enjoy your last week with two kiddos! We'll be praying for a healthy and easy delivery.
