Hottie Alert

It isn't every day that you go to IHOP. And if you have followed me for the duration of my blog you may know that I vowed never to step foot inside another one Jan 18, 2009. Problem is our options are limited here. So, I sucked it up for the greater good.

It isn't every day that you get to have a one on one brunch date with your sweet nine year old daughter.

It isn't every day that you get to hear your nine year old whisper, "HOTTIE ALERT" in response to a male server passing by as you wait to be seated.

It isn't every day that that same server your nine year old thought was a hottie becomes your server.

It isn't every day that your nine year old daughter turns the color of her berry splash drink when giving her order to server.

It isn't every day that your nine year old giggles throughout the entire 48 minutes of brunch even though she was insistent that IHOP was lame for the 14 minutes waiting to be seated.

It isn't every day that nine year old asks you what that said server would look like in a tuxedo.

It isn't every day that she begs you to go back to IHOP to take a photo of that server multiple times.

Did I mention she was just NINE YEARS OLD?

I may just be an old, "uncool" mom and all, but seriously? NINE!

Help!! I just want to keep her my baby forever. Sigh.

And by the way, if you are here for Tasty Tuesdays, you can now find it at 33 Shades of Green. Stop by. You will love it there.

My daughter will be 9 in two years. I'm so not ready for the hottie alerts.

Awwwww she's growing up! Bless her heart for being so open with you about her crush - that's a good sign!!

I completely remember having crushes at that age. On Luke Perry. Which was totally appropriate.

I don't remember telling my mom though. So I think you're in a good place.

Wow, I'm not ready for this in only 3 years!! But I LOVE mom/girl dates!

She is so cute! And the bright side is that she's open with you. I don't think I ever told me mom who my crushes were!

Oh dear - I don't know what I would do if that line came out of one of my girls' mouths! I'm sure I'd laugh in their face, though.

I am laughing so hard!!! What a fun moment to share but why are kids growing up so quickly these days?

Love your new Look here, and holy smokes, your 9 year old is gorgeous. I don't want my babies growing up either. It just doesn't seem right. :)

I love this Alicia. As the mom of a 13 year old it only gets better and more of the "seriously" situations :)

What a fun outing for both of you! Before too long you'll be keeping your eyes on the eyes on her. :)
