1st Date

As I've mentioned before, Brayden has a girlfriend, A. The two of them get along great because they have such similar personalities and have seemed to gravitate towards each other from the beginning. A. is the only one who calls Brayden "Brady" (or a variation of that) or Brayden Kennedy, in a loving way, not my usual get-your-butt-over-here way. Last night she also referred to him as "my duck" after they performed their famous post-dinner duck routine where A. sings/dances/quacks and Brayden quacks/dances as her back-up. I like to believe they'll get married one day (I know, wishful thinking), but A.'s parents believe they have entered the "friend zone." Either way, last night they had their first date night. Truthfully, they were just kicked out of the main table because of a lack of space, but they didn't mind.

The two of them worked together to clean their table off prior to eating. While setting the table up I asked A. if she wanted to sit next to or across from Brayden. She decided to sit next to him. While waiting for dinner, Brayden, A., and K. (A.'s brother who is Brayden's age) were playing musical chairs. A. was rather upset when K. would take Brayden's assigned seat. Poor K. I jokingly asked A. if she would like some candles for mood lighting. Her response: "That'd be good." Clearly this did not happen, although A.'s plastic wine glass of milk totally did!

Once dinner was ready the two of them sat at the table the entire meal and ate very peacefully. I was afraid Brayden wouldn't sit or eat. Instead A. helped him get food in his spoon when needed, wiped his face when needed, and yelled something about Brayden's "yucky drooly hands!"at which he also yelled "yucky!" We thought the "yucky" comment meant the date was going down hill but their baby, Baby Bella, joined them later at the table and all seemed well!

Here are the two love birds, or best friends...
