I feel very strange with the thought of even giving anything close to parenting advice. I have only been one for a little over 6 months. The two kids that we have with us have a different history than most kids. I love watching them discover something that we take for granted for the first time and their giggles are music to my ears.
My wife and I have had two date nights since we became parents. One was on our anniversary in February and the second was this past weekend. We went to have an early dinner and went to a movie. We rarely go to the movies in the theatre. This blog has covered many topics, but, I highly doubt that I will be reviewing movies in it anytime soon. The kids stayed with some local family of ours for the afternoon and evening and we went out. The movie that we saw is not the point. Neither is the place where we had dinner. The important part is that we spend some time alone together. I suspect that my wife liked having time talking with someone who could actually hold a conversation with her, in understandable english.
What does this have to do with parenting advice? I think that it has to do with the fact that if my wife and I focus on keeping connected to each other, the better parents I think we will be. besides, we picked each other for forever and it is important that we continue to enjoy time together.
