I never do this, but tonight I thought I'd take Charlie on an evening walk around the block. We ended up walking to the drugstore and wow... it was one of the most amazing nights of my life!

Charlie talked the entire way... he told me so many things and we talked about real people things. He talked 90% of the time, and we talked almost as peers... not as father and son. I honestly didn't know that he had so much on his mind!! Usually it's him and me and Bee and Olive all together... we do get 1 on 1 time, but it's usually at home. But somehow, getting that 1 on 1 time outside totally changed the dynamic and it ended up being one of the most special nights of my life!

I'm going to make evening walks a priority in the future... I can't wait until our next walk together!

Do you ever go on walks with your kids in the evening?
