Date Night with Daddy

My boys were on their own this past Thursday. Nick was in charge of putting Charlie to bed while I was at Wicked with some of my close girlfriends. This was only the second time that Nick has put the little man to sleep, so I was a bit worried that I was going to come home at midnight to a very awake baby. It took three tries and almost two hours, but Charlie finally gave in and went to sleep for his daddy. He must have been very worn out, because he slept straight through until 5:00 a.m. This would have been great except for the fact that he was so excited to see me that he stayed up until 6:30 a.m. Let's just say I was a bit tired that day!

I am so happy that things went okay on my "Mommy's Night Out". Hopefully I will be able to do it more often. Nick has another chance to showcase his baby skills next Thursday when I am out again. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well!

For all the moms out there, I will have you know that Nick called me the next day from work to tell me how worn out he was from spending 4 hours with Charlie. That's right...pat yourselves on the back for being able to spend a lot more than just 4 hours a day feeding, bathing, comforting, entertaining, and loving your little ones!

I do pat myself on the back every day! These little munchkins can wear anyone out!

Hope to see you soon!
