Last week after gymnastics the kids asked to go out to lunch. Which took me by surprise because we have not gone in a while and they haven't asked. Friendly's it was!
While we were there it was complete bliss. It was as though we were in our own little world. The three of us smiling and laughing in our own little bubble of joy.
Both kids devoured their lunches. I mean ate every bit of it, which is a feat in itself. After lunch at Friendly's always comes ice cream. They were both so excited about ordering and having Oreo ice cream. Kyle quite literally would NOT STOP TALKING about it.
They gobbled their ice cream and when Kyle was done he was sad. Hailey scooped some ice cream out from her little dish, onto her little spoon and asked "want some Kyle?" Of course he did! He leaned across the table and she leaned toward him and fed him. He said "Thank you Hailey, love you." She gave him a few extra bites for that. I had my camera in my bag and so wanted to capture what was happening but I was so busy savoring this beautiful moment I just took mental pictures.
When all the ice cream was gone and the check was paid we slowly came out from our little love bubble. When I looked around us everyone in the restaurant was watching us. It was a little awkward having so many eyes on us. I checked out the kids, they were good. Made sure I didn't have anything on my face or wasn't wearing any food. My cleavage was tucked in so really, there was no obvious reason as to why everyone was staring at us.
Kyle had to "go pee, Mama" and while we were walking back a woman grabbed my sleeve and said "you truly have beautiful children". I passed another table and a woman said "I have never seen a mommy more in love." When we went a little further a man rubbed Kyles head and said "that was a Kodak moment." A woman across the restaurant walked up to me while we were leaving and said "you have kids with good hearts."
It was amazing. Like this little miracle was happening. I felt so happy and so blessed. I walked out with tears in my eyes and a smile in my heart. What more could a mommy want? Other than to NEVER forget that day, that moment, that love bubble that I felt like we were in and everyone was watching. I wish every mom a mommy moment like that =)
