On Saturday afternoon Aunt Colleen picked Simon up for his first night without either of his parents so Alan could take me out for my birthday. As expected, all went smoothly. Colleen is an old hand at all the stuff required to take care of Simon. The only semi-new part was sleeping/napping out of the crib and, really, he's done that at Colleen's before too.
They had a great day of laughing, reading, puppies and food (those last two are separate things). We forgot to give poor Colleen a stroller or wrap, so she wasn't as mobile as she'd hoped. Park time just turned into back yard time, which meant they hung out with the puppy and little boy two months older than Simon from upstairs. We also don't have a portable high chair, so Colleen was stuck trying to feed Simon as he crawled all over exploring. It's so hard to feed him when he's not strapped into a chair! She managed and even tuckered out the little guy enough that he passed out right at 5 with no crying! We will definitely be doing date night this way more often. Thanks again, Colleen!
Jump for pictures of date night... Crepe making class and then on to Chicago's Wine Riot.
