Date Night/Practice Parenting


Saturday night Todd and I had a wedding reception to go to, so Uncle Jamie and Aunt Stephanie (Todd's childhood friends who are expecting their own bundle of energy...i mean joy! on April 15th --MY birthday for those keeping track) agreed to babysit for us. Lauren loves to go to their house because they have a jack russell terrier named Lexie that makes her squeal with utter delight! When Stephanie answered the door Lauren's whole face lit up, as if to say, "THIS is where I am going tonight? You never told me we were driving to THEIR house. YAY!".
From all reports she was a super great baby for them. She tentatively petted Lexie, bopped her on the head and pulled her ears (we are still working on "gentle touch"). She read parenting magazines with Stephanie--- for Lauren that means tearing off the covers and crinkling the pages. And she went to bed for them like a champ! We can't wait until we can return the favor for their soon-to-arrive little girl! :)
Looking back in the archived posts, it appears as though this is the only pair of pajamas the child has. They are just the warmest, softest pair she has, and with Winter Watch 2008 last weekend, we had to keep her bundled up as we transported her about town. Thanks Nana for the best St. Nicholas Day gift for her. She's certainly getting her wear of them! XOXO.
