We are visiting family who were kind enough to let us sneak out for a little date night. Wilf and I had spent the past few days just us two whilst Tom was away, and without someone to tell me to go to bed I had been staying up way too late trying to clear a little bit of my inbox (and lets be honest catch up on some TV shows that Tom would never sit through). This doesn't really work with a two year old who still wakes at night (and gets up at 6) so truthfully I wasn't really sure if I was up for drinks, kind of day dreaming about an early night instead.
I'm so glad we made the effort though, especially with some time apart we had a really fun night reminiscing and chatting about this kiddo of ours. Most people say you shouldn't talk about your children when go out but I have to disagree. There is no one that loves Wilf more than Tom and I so why not talk about how fantastic that is?
The last time we went out (this time last month actually!) we went to a wedding and joked about how we had forgotten how to dance like normal people and not parents. I'm hoping by this time next month we may have snuck in another date night and we've agreed that a night out dancing is just what we need! Also I've been told that playing 90's music is somehow cool again so I feel we need to take advantage of this moment in time where I actually know what song they are playing ;)
As usual I'm hosting this Me and You linky with the lovely Lucy, Becky and Kirsty. If you fancy linking up your posts with you and your loved one then just enter below!

Great linky and a lovely post.
Lovely photos of you both. And I agree, we talk a lot about how amazing our kids are when we go out together, they are a big part of our story and our lives after all, and we love talking about how amazing they are.
And 90s music got cool you say? Right, I clearly need to go out and make the most of this too. x
lovely picture! G and I got a date night on Friday... cocktails it was {and no dancing!!}
How cute you are together! Love the first picture so much! :) I think it is nice that you talk about your amazing kiddo when you are on a date, I think it would be weird to avoid it since parenting surely must be one of the most important thing for you as a couple. 90s music rock, I'd have to go out and feel cool :)
i like the red bubble pattern, nice and bright
i love the oaker
Have been eyeing up the oaker for ages! Just had a baby girl yesterday and would be amazing for her :-D
Oaker
I love the Red bubble design it would be great for any new baby.

I think my favourite is Treet, although Red Bubble is a close second.
Great photos. It's so nice to get some couple time and we take advantage of babysitting offers whenever we can. 90s music is awesome!
I Love the Golighty Pattern
The golightly is my favorite, perfect for the little girl we're expecting.
Pixelate is gorgeous!
treet is my fav

All star :) x
oaker is Great
GoLightly is great but Oaker is perfect :)
Red bubble
I like the oaker I think. Partly because we are keeping the sex of our baby a surprise so this is quite a neutral colour. It also looks quite modern. Our first baby, due August 26th.
I absolutely LOVE the Golightly design
Love treet. It's perfect for a girl or boy xx
red bubble

I love 90's music! It's the best! Your first picture is gorgeous!! You look like you're deep in conversations!
Cute pics! I'm glad you got a date night!! My husband and I always end up talking about our kiddos when we're out too.
Ah I love date nights - it's so nice to reconnect as a couple!
