Specifically the part about real outings without mama and papa.
P.? She's at the beach with a friend (and said friend's mom, obviously).
Unlike some Mass. residents, neither I nor the BabbyDaddy get Patriot's Day off, and daycare was closed today. We were dealing with the usual work-childcare issues - including some poop that accidentally got on the floor after a successful potty trip - when a beach invitation came in. Whew. So now I'm focused and hopefully, P. is getting wicked sandy.
My only regret? That I'm not at the beach, too! *I may have sniffled a little about it, even*
How old were your kids before you sent them off for a day of fun with someone else's parents?
um, no one's actually offered to take the LJ for a day that I know of... any takers? anyone? Yeah, ours are a little raucous to sic them on anyone yet :)
ReplyDeleteCad is for rent.
ReplyDeleteUm, Mr. knight of the square table- our neighbor and great friend actually took LJ to a museum and mall tots right after we had our second baby so I think that counts...He was two at the time.
ReplyDeleteShe looks so cute in her swimsuit! Mine has only spent time away from her parents at school and at home with a babysitter. She's better behaved on home turf/familiar surroundings. She has yet to go out sans me or daddy with another parent. She might be a bit much for them.
ReplyDeleteSee, that's funny! P. is generally better behaved for others - she listens better, is less prone to tantruming, and so on. I was the same way - a little angel with other people's parents :)
DeleteSuch a cute beach shot and you are lucky to have a friend who will take them on cool outings! My baby books are filled in random spurts, will likely work on new babies book this week (I hope)!!
