Well, the day of the show grew nearer and we couldn't find a babysitter. So Daddy graciously offered to sell his ticket and stay home w/the Babe so that I could go and enjoy the show. But then an urgent project came up at work this week that has meant many hours of extra work at night, as well as a 6am conf. call on Thursday morning. So, I decided to stay home w/the Babe and let Daddy go to the show instead.
Short story long, I ended up volunteering to watch our friends' Eve & John's little girl Ecco, so that Eve could go to the show. (John is out of town.) We love Ecco. Izzy and Ecco have been playing so well together lately and I thought to myself, how hard could it be to watch feed two little girls dinner and put them to bed?
Dinner was great. Just look at these two:
Here's the "I don't know what I was thinking" part:
Bedtime initiated: 7:30pm.
...
2 bottles and 1 sippy cup of water
4 books
2 trips to the potty
1 diaper change
1 pajama shirt change
1 failed attempt (resulting in a wailing little girl) at explaining why Ecco needs a binky and Izzy doesn't
4 pillow and toy "swaps"
2 moves b/w top and bottom mattresses of the trundle
and
1 move of Izzy over to Mama/Daddy's room
later, and finally I have 2 sleeping girls.
It's 9:35.
I know, it could be worse. But I'm pooped and I have to get up at 5am, so I'm going nite-nite.

That is AWESOME. I hope you were able to get some rest though. :) Was this Izzy's first slumber party? tee hee
You feed Marc buffet dinners like that? Is each food group color-coded?
