Saturday Night is Date Night!
Noa and her main squeeze Tanner had a chaperoned date last night at the romantic White Plains restaurant, Chez Benerofe. Unbeknownst to most, this was NOT the lovebirds' first date, but it was the first time in 18 months that Tanner and Noa acknowledged that the other one existed. Parallel play has officially been replaced by Peek-a-Boo, Hide & Seek, and kissing (when coaxed by the Mommies, of course)! And since Noa isn't one to give it all away on the first date, she spent the entire night in her winter coat. Daddy was proud!

'O Ye of Little Faith
From the time Noa was still a baby in Mommy's belly, the entire Benerofe family has warned me that no child of theirs has ever used floaties in the pool, and neither would Noa. All 4 kids were simply thrown in the water, left to sink or swim. I smiled and nodded, dubious of course, and made a mental note never to let anyone put that theory to test while I was around.
On the plane ride down to Sanibel this year, I made sure to remind Jory that under no circumstances was he allowed to let go of Noa in the water. An 18 month old is just too young to swim! Jory rolled his eyes and made it clear that he would be letting go, and that I'd just have to deal with it. Great. I couldn't wait.
So here comes the part where I eat my words, admit I was wrong, give MAJOR props to Jory and my in-laws and start bragging that my 18 month old is.....swimming!!!! Not like, Marco Polo swimming, but definitely letting go, breathing under water and kicking those polkies. This water baby is having so much fun splashing around with Daddy, Ama Robin, Aunt Hayley and Uncles Seth and Tyler! Next up: laps with Grandpa!
Watch out Michael Phelps!!
