For just a couple hours this evening, Natalie and I were reminded of what life was like B.K. (before Kylie). It is only the second date night we've had since our little pumpkin joined this crazy party we call "life", and it was nice to spend it out on the dance floor. It was only for a couple hours, but it was a lot of fun getting a chance to do what it was we did when we first started dating.....line dancing! I will admit that we were unable to refrain from checking our phones (with a ransom like intensity) every 17 seconds to make sure that we hadn't missed any updates on our daughter's situation. It wasn't until about 2 hours into the dance party that the bat signal was illuminated and our parenting costumes came back on. We raced home to find, Yes, our little one sound asleep in her auntie Melissa's arms. It never fails. Baby fusses, parents come home, baby falls asleep before mom and dad even get there. That, as somebody, somewhere, once said, "is just the way the cookie crumbles". To that I say, "That is why I only eat soft chewy cookies. Less crumbs to worry about." Anyway. Nat and I were out the door by 7:30 back home by 9:30 happy to have had a little dancing time, but also extremely happy to come home to a precious little girl with the innocent look that only a sleeping baby has. If our baby watchers can survive the meltdown portion of the night (right before sleep), Nat and I might have to make a habit out of this whole date night thing. We'll see.
more to come soon,
