On Saturday evening, Dave and I took advantage of the opportunity to go off on a date while the Grandparents babysat. We had to wait until Amanda finally fell asleep at 11pm to escape, but it was worth it. I can’t remember the last time we were able to get away as a couple. It was only for an hour, but it was very refreshing. I only hope Amanda is able to relax enough to allow someone else to watch her so we can do this more often. It took her a day to warm up to the grandparents this time, and though she’d let them hold her for a few minutes, she’d start crying the second she spotted my face or realized I was gone. I’d say “let her cry, so long as someone is holding and comforting her,” but it just gets more shrill and intense over time, and I don’t wish that on anyone.
