Roselyn stays with Mimi!

Saturday, March 14th was Roselyn's first night away from Mommy and Daddy. Rob and I had tickets for the Billy Joel/Elton John concert for the evening and decided this was a perfect opportunity for a night away from baby Prout. It was decided that Mimi (Rob's mom) would keep her along with her cousins Brett and Carl (their parents were attending the same concert). Were we nervous? Yes. We didn't doubt she would be well taken care of, but there is always the unknown (not to mention a 4 and 6 year old) to deal with. Were we going to miss her? Oh yeah. However, as we walked out of the house looking at Roselyn on Mimi's lap reading a book- a sense of peace and relief came over us. We deserved a time away to remind us that first of all, we are a married couple. The evening went well for us, and after a phone call from Mimi, we knew the evening went well with Roselyn too. Sunday morning was the first morning in a while I slept passed 7:30am and did not have to rush out of bed to feed a baby. Rob and I took our time getting ready, had breakfast, then went to pick up Roselyn. There she was, happy as she could be, playing with her cousins. We were very proud of her, and of ourselves for allowing her to stay the night somewhere else. Now we have done it once, I am sure more will come in the future.
