I'm pretty excited about it for a couple of reasons. It will give me uninterrupted time to hang out all alone (well almost), and it means that Daddy C and I can plan a date - in fact we have an incentive to really make it happen.
One fantastic thing about the lovely women I connected with during maternity leave was the babysitting swap arrangement that we figured out. It means that since all of our babes go to bed at around the same time, we can get our respective offspring bedded down for the night and then head off to one or others house to mind their little honey, and swap. Free babysitting, a night out alone, a night out with our partner...win, win, win!
Mind you, I hope that we don't start to forget each other too quickly with the onset of our changing lives. As we go back to work and change routines we have naturally been seeing less of each other. I find it so interesting that life can offer situations that encourage a relationship of openness and vulnerability that helps so much at the time and then fades after such a short period. Babies bring intensity and change on so many levels.
For old times sake, here is a photo of some of our play date babes from a few months ago...
p.s. I can't wait until Little E's birthday party on Sunday. Apart from the handmade invites I have a few other fun thoughts to share with you once we're through. It's a Teddy Bear Picnic theme, and hopefully you will enjoy the bits and pieces as much as I am already!
