Carolyn stayed with her babysitter, Mikala, for the first time tonight. I am pretty sure she fussed a bit, but she's a baby and that is what they do in the evenings, especially when their momma is not around. Mikala said she would be happy to come back, so I doubt Carolyn was all that bad.
Steve is out of town and I enjoyed a night out with the 'girls' ... we met at The Metropolitan, a swanky restaurant downtown, for cocktails and appetizers. We then went to the Gallery Stroll and ended the night with chocolate and cheese fondue from the Melting Pot. I had a lot of fun and never once thought about calling to check on Carolyn while I was out. I was not too worried leaving Carolyn because Mikala is very qualified -- on paper, she is way more qualified than I am to take care of a child. Plus, Nikki quickly met her before we left and she said she got a good feeling from her, too.
As much as I enjoyed going out tonight, I was so happy to see my sweet little girl when I got home. She was sound asleep in her crib. I really wanted to pick her up and hold her, but I did not have the heart to disturb her. It will make it all the more special when she wakes up in the morning.
