Mummy & Daddy's first...nights out
It had to happen eventually, and I'm surprised it's taken this long to be honest. Mummy & Daddy have had their first nights out without junior, which also make them "Baby's first...nights in"
Worried? Nah.The first night was the second we'd arranged, and the second night was the first we'd arranged. Confused? We've had two nights out this weekend, Friday and Sunday. Sunday being the first we'd organised but second outing chronologically.
Friday night was the big one though, the first time we'd left him and headed off out on our own. We were a little apprehensive, not for him because we knew he'd be safe with the Jeffreys, but for what we'd be like. I guess we both thought we'd be constantly wondering if he was behaving, if he was screaming the place down, if he was too demanding, not settling etc. The reality was somewhat different.
The occassion was the relaunch of a local restaurant for which MOTS had won us an invite. As things panned out we met a couple in the bar with whom we shared a table, so that kept the conversation flowing and away from the questions above. That was an absolute bonus!
The first night arranged / second night out was just a quick couple of scoops in the bar of a local hotel. The conversation did go a little in the direction I'd expected it to on Friday night, but nowhere near as deeply given we'd already gone through the first night out two nights previously.
All in all a good weekend. So thanks to the Jeffreys for keeping Junior entertained on Friday night, Mike and Zoe for keeping us entertained on Friday night, and Mrs Stewart for coming over to us on Sunday night and not drinking too much Bombay Sapphire in the process!
