Jared and I were very fortunate to get a night to ourselves...okay, so we didn't just spend time with ourselves, we hung out with friends too, but it was sans baby!
Grammy and Grampy volunteered to watch Reef as they have an upcoming trip to Arizona to visit friends and they wouldn't see their grandson for a week. They came over and we chatted and played a game of Spinners before we left for our night out. Spinners is a very fun game that is used with special dominoes. It kind of reminds me of chicken foot or mexican train dominoes, but with a "wild card" the spinner dominoes. The spinner dominoes look like a curvy * and you can play them anywhere. Pretty fun.
I was a little nervous about Reef's bedtime because he usually nurses to sleep, but when Cyndi called me around 8:45 I was sure it was a struggle. It went PERFECTLY! She said he took a little milk from a bottle *which he hardly does anymore* and fell asleep within a few minutes! She had to hold him for awhile...who doesn't love to hold a peaceful sleeping baby...and when she laid him in his crib, he stayed sleeping! HOORAY! When we got home around 12:30 he had just woken up around midnight and was struggling to fall back asleep (I think he liked rocking with Grammy!) and I nursed him and he slept until 8:15! Yea, Reef!
We had a great night with food, friends and FUN! Can't wait to do it again. Thanks Grammy & Grampy!
