my mom arrived for a visit yesterday, or as we like to refer to it, her babysitter vacation. she's basically told us to go out as much as possible in the evenings/nighttime and enjoy the constant babysitting she can provide for the next 10 days. I didn't ask her how literally she meant her offer to be..but we went out tonight, we've got plans for Friday and Saturday night, and are still working to make plans for the other 7 days. Maybe save one day for a little R&R...but trust me, we will take advantage of this golden opportunity.
Before tonight it has been over 5 months that Josh and I had gone out without baby. Seriously.
We love Chloë and all, but wow, tonight was heaven. Though, it almost didn't happen. One of the conditions for the tremendous babysitting offer was that we please only make plans for only after Chloë has gone to bed. Well, she must have known we had made plans because for the first time in weeks the little girl decided to cry her eyes out for 30 minutes straight before finally passing out from exhaustion...we were supposed to leave the house at 7:45pm. I looked at the clock at 7:47pm and realized--yes, those piercing screams are coming from my little babe's room. We finally made it out the house at 8:08pm. We came home exhausted but it was worth it.
I'm off to bed, but already looking forward to tomorrow night.
** Oh yeah, what did we do tonight, you may ask..well, that's not really important, what's important is that we left the house without the carseat, and the diaper bag, and the million and one emergency toys in case we have a meltdown, and the BABY. (but if you really must know we went out for dinner with some wonderful friends to Union Jack's in Ballston. It was raffle night, so it was craaaaazy!)
