So last night was the first night that Mike and I went out without the little man. It was Mike's work's holiday party and we felt it was important to put in an appearance. So at 6:30pm we dropped Liam off at my friend Dana's house and off we went.
I was initially a little nervous, obviously not because I don't trust Dana, but because this is really the first time we have left him. I thought he would do great though, and I was right. He enjoyed seeing his little "girlfriend" Hayes (Dana's daughter is 4.5 months old), playing in her exersaucer (which we will be purchasing for Christmas), eating pears, drinking his milk from his sippy cup, and getting loads of attention. So all went well, and by the time we picked him up at 9pm (a little past his bedtime) he was just getting cranky.
I'm sure it helped that Dana is a familiar face and Liam loves her, so yay! I'm glad he wasn't upset at all, and my friends and I have all decided to do some babysitting swapping, so we'll probably be hosting a baby playdate at our place next!
Picture above is Liam playing oh so gently with Hayes' ear at the Baby's Holiday party.
